Svartlöga

Welcome to Svartlöga – one of the most unique islands in the Stockholm archipelago and a perfect day trip for the whole family.

Svartlöga is home to one of the best-preserved village environments in the entire archipelago. Unlike many other islands, Svartlöga was spared when the Russians ravaged the area in 1719, making it the oldest intact village in the region. Here, you can stroll along charming gravel roads lined with red cottages, boathouses, and blooming gardens – a true journey back in time, wrapped in summer beauty.

For film enthusiasts, there’s an extra reason to visit: parts of the new Saltkråkan movie were filmed right here. It’s easy to see why – Svartlöga has an untouched, fairytale-like atmosphere straight out of Astrid Lindgren’s world.

Families with children will love the island’s small, child-friendly beach – perfect for a swim or a playful moment in the sand. Just a few minutes’ walk away lies Lassas Hagar, a five-hectare arboretum unlike any other. Here you’ll find a water garden and more than 2,500 exotic trees and shrubs, including magnolias, rhododendrons, maples, and mighty oaks. It’s both a work of art and a nature project – right in the heart of the archipelago.

There are no cars or shops on Svartlöga – just nature, culture, and tranquility. A perfect escape from everyday life.
