Guide to Gällnö – A Beautiful Hike
Gällnö's walker-friendly trails lead to fantastic views, good food, and refreshing swims. You can conveniently arrive here by the morning boat from Vaxholm and disembark at the dock at Gällnönäs. From there, paths lead across the island – past red cottages, reed bays, and oak groves – allowing you to discover one of the archipelago's most original islands.
Gällnö is an island in the middle archipelago. Here you'll find beaches, sheltered natural harbors, and well-preserved agricultural landscapes. You'll also find red-painted sheds, boathouses, and residential houses, as well as a general store, hostel, cottages, bar, and café. A narrow water separates Gällnö from Karklö, which can be reached by the boat trail's rowboats to wander among nature, agriculture, and grazing livestock.
