Saturday Excursion to Brunskär

Brunskär in Åsmansboda is an idyllic island surrounded by shimmering sea and untouched archipelago nature. Here you’ll find smooth cliffs, fragrant pine forests, and a peaceful stillness.

Located in the outer part of the archipelago, where the Baltic Sea meets the rugged, open seascape, Brunskär is shaped by wild nature, wind-swept rocks, and dense pine woods – a perfect retreat for those seeking tranquility and closeness to nature.

Historically, like many islands in Roslagen, Brunskär was used as summer pasture for livestock, and traces of old cottages and boathouses still bear witness to human presence over the centuries.

The island boasts rich wildlife, with sea eagles often circling overhead and seals visible out on the surrounding skerries. In spring and summer, the island bursts into color with wildflowers and a vibrant birdlife.

For nature lovers, Brunskär offers peaceful walks, fishing, kayaking, and swimming from sun-warmed rocks. It’s part of the larger Roslagen archipelago – one of Sweden’s most beloved coastal landscapes, where sea, wind, and island culture meet in perfect harmony.
