Adventure on Grinda island
Details
Salam everyone
Let's leave the city and go a bit far to discover Grinda Island within archipelago which has likely been inhabited since the Middle Ages. The island is currently a nature reserve, which has helped preserve its natural beauty.
On the north side of the island, the trail is more technical, so we hike up and down hills. From the highest point on the island, we will have a fantastic view. When we reach the eastern tip and the top of the hill, we will be rewarded with an incredible view.
Along the trail there are beautiful swimming coves and a few strategically placed benches where we can rest for lunch, fika, playing games or swimming.
We will walk for approximately 9.5km in roughly 3.5 hours. Also, we will spend some time for resting, eating and taking pictures time. Please, wear comfortable shoes. Also, we have dry toilets and fresh water taps to refill.
We have an option to have a luxurious lunch at Grinda Wärdshus which is atop a hill restaurant offers spectacular harbor views and authentic Swedish cuisine.

Meeting point:
We will meet at 8:30 am at Stockholm Strömkajen ferry port. It’s near to Kungsträdgården metrostation. Although the boat will leave at 9:20am, we need to be in the line before because it gets crowded so early.
Return trip to Stockholm will be flexible according to our pace and relaxing time together. So, we can aim at 16:00 or 17:00.
Price: The ferry ticket ONE-way costs 125kr.
Looking forward to seeing you all :)
