Gällnö

Here are a few special memories from our week on the Swedish island of Gällnö, one of the central-archipelago islands off the coast of Stockholm. Truly a very unique place, full of outstanding beauty and tranquility - no cars were allowed on the island, but as it was only 500 hectares big, it was pretty easy to get around on foot.

One of the most beautiful islands I have been to in Europe, I am so jealous that the Swedes have all this beauty on their doorstep!




To get to the next island over, Kalko, there were little rowing boats waiting for you.









Our favourite cafe on the island (the only cafe on the island!) which was right by the harbour.

I would love to go back again - especially to eat up all the wild blueberries we found on our lengthy sunny walks!
