Great tips! I would also like to highlight other places in Roslagen that can be reached by car or in combination with car ferries, e.g. the beautiful
Arholma (a real favourite) Ljusterö, Yxlan, Blidö, Furusund and Lidö. And then there are so many islands in the central, northern and outer archipelago that are easily accessible by Waxholm boat.

  Great tips! Arholma we still have to discover. In return, we have been to beautiful Blidö many, many times because Peter's brother lives there 🙂 The archipelago is fantastic!

The Dannemora mines near Österbybruk are pretty cool too.

PS. It is quite funny that you write about Roslagen while you are somewhere on the continent while making the post - hahaha:-) DS.

  Great tips! Yes, haha, that can happen sometimes. I wrote this when we were at the car park in Celle. Then I also wrote a report about Skåne on behalf of another site that I work for 😉.
