Experience Storjungfrun

Storjungfrun is highly varied, with everything from barren rock slabs, shingle beaches and dry moraine blocks to chalky fertile land and several fens. The small islands around Storjungfrun play a key role as resting places for migrating birds and as nesting sites for several species.

The island is home to several sites of cultural heritage. Examples are a 17th century chapel and the remains of old harbours, the oldest of which dates from the 16th century. Sweden’s last charcoal-fired lighthouse is also on the island.
