about the coastline

Södermanland County has an approximately six-mile long coastline with a diverse archipelago. Here there are about 2,800 islands larger than 100 square meters, of which nearly three-quarters are treeless – something that gives the landscape an open and distinctive character.

The archipelago stretches from Skanssundet at northern Mörkö , halfway up the Södertälje Channel, to Nävekvarn at Bråviken . Along the coast, there are a large number of natural harbors . Despite many recreational boats passing through the area during the summer, the impact on nature is relatively small .
