Experience the Magic of Svartlöga

Welcome to Svartlöga – one of the archipelago’s most unique islands and a perfect day trip for the whole family. The boat journey alone, through the waters of Roslagen, is worth the trip – and once ashore, you’ll have 2,5 hours to enjoy peace, beauty, and history.

Svartlöga is home to one of the best-preserved village environments in the entire Stockholm archipelago. Unlike many other islands, Svartlöga was spared during the Russian raids of 1719, making the village the oldest intact settlement in the area. Stroll along charming gravel roads lined with red cottages, boathouses, and blooming gardens.

Film lovers will be excited to know that parts of the new Saltkråkan movie were filmed right here. It’s easy to see why – Svartlöga has a pristine, fairytale-like atmosphere straight out of an Astrid Lindgren story.

Families with children will love the island’s small, child-friendly beach – perfect for a swim or some playtime in the sand. Just a short walk away lies Lassas Hagar, a five-hectare arboretum that’s truly one of a kind. Here you’ll find a water garden and more than 2,500 exotic trees and shrubs, including magnolias, rhododendrons, maples, and majestic oaks. It’s both a work of art and a nature project – right in the heart of the archipelago.

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