Map of Stockholm Archipelago Trail/Grinda

Grinda Island was purchased by the City of Stockholm in 1944 to provide recreational opportunities for its residents, leading to the establishment of a cabin village, a camping area, and summer camps in repurposed military barracks. It remains a popular destination in the Stockholm Archipelago, celebrated for its nature reserve, coastal scenery, and easy accessibility. The trail begins at the 59.40744418.5531581 South Grinda ferry stop, where you will find an official 59.40758618.5534331 SAT sign positioned right next to the pier.
