Beautiful nature

All of Askö is very beautiful. You can pick berries, mushrooms, swim in the small and protected bays. But don’t forget to bring a map, and stay on the trails, the island is 10 km long and full of un-touched forest where it is easy to get lost. If the weather permits it, there is possibilities to borrow the small boats for a rowing tour in the bay. Please inform the staff whenever you want to take a longer excursion!

There are both mosquitos and ticks on Askö, a common TBE-vaccination (Tick Borne Encephalitis) is recommended for those who are planning on staying long.
