M/S Stångskär
Together with two friends I visited Landsort on Sunday. Or more precisely Öja, which is the official name of the southernmost island in the Stockholm archipelago. It is a fantastic little place. Seriously beautiful. Only twenty people live here year round. That number goes up a bit during the Summer. I arrived on the ferry M/S Stångskär. It travels between Ankarudden at the Torö island in Nynäshamn, and Öja a couple of times every day this time of the year. It only takes 68 passengers which meant that my lazy friends missed the ferry and arrived one hour later. I took quite a few photos during the visit and I will show you the most interesting in the coming days.
Great landscape but not reachable by a storm I guess.
ReplyDeleteThere are two more harbours on the island that they use for the ferry. Depending on the weather, and you have to check the information board to see which one they will use. Luckily there is a bus service that will take you to the harbour furthest away.
ReplyDeleteA distinctive looking landscape.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your pics!
ReplyDeleteYour trip was well worth making. The ferry is photogenic as well as practical.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so serene! My wife and I are planning on visiting next week. Do you happen to know if the ferry waits for the bus? I'm conscious that the timetable only allows 3 minutes between the bus arriving and the ferry leaving!
ReplyDeleteThe ferry usually waits for the bus as most bus passengers are on their way to Öja. Enjoy your visit Steve.
