A perfect place to pass the day

Utö is a small island in the archipelago east of Stockholm. It is a couple of hours by boat from Stockholm, which makes it a perfect place to pass the day. it is famous for its nature and has the oldest mine in Sweden. It also has a windmill that is more than 200 years old. It is an island made for enjoying nature and marvelous views.

Winter in the archipelago

Invierno en el archipiélago

Utö es una de las islas del archipiélago de Estocolmo situadas más al sur. Famosa por su naturaleza y sus playas, esta isla también alberga la mina de hierro más antigua de Suecia (1607). A la isla se llega tras un par de horas en ferry. Una vez allí puedes dejarte llevar y explorar los diferentes caminos a través del bosque. Alrededor de la isla se encuentran algunas playas y bahías de fácil acceso, pero en su mayor parte son formaciones rocosas, típicas del archipiélago. Sin embargo, no os dejeis acobardar por las rocas, con un poco de esfuerzo, se consigue llegar hasta losmejores puntos para disfrutar de las magnificas vistas y poder ver el mar en toda su extensión, algo nada fácil en el archipiélago, donde quieras o no, siempre hay alguna isla por en medio... Aunque las islas del archipiélago son destino principal durante los meses de verano, también en invierno tienen su encanto, y el navegar por aguas prácticamente cubiertas de hielo en su totalidad es algo que merece la pena! Eso sí, si se va en invierno a Utö lo mejor es llevarse alguna bebida caliente y comida para pasar el día, y asegurarse de no perder el ferry de vuelta! No es fácil encontrar algo abierto allí, al menos en domingo...
Utö is an island in the Stockholm archipelago further south. Famous for its nature and its beaches, this island is also home to the oldest iron mine in Sweden (1607). The island is reached after a couple of hours by ferry. Once there you can let go and explore different paths through the forest. Around the island there are some beaches and bays for easy access, but for the most part are rock formations, typical of the archipelago. However, do not be cowed by the rocks, with a little effort, be achieved to reach losmejores points to enjoy the magnificent views and see the sea in its entirety, something not easy in the archipelago, where you want them or not there is always some island in the middle ... Although the islands are prime destination during the summer months, even in winter have their charm, and virtually navigate icy waters as a whole is worth something! Of course, if you go in winter it is best carried Utö hot drink and some food for the day, and make sure not to miss the ferry back! Not easy to find something open there, at least on Sunday ...
