2. My favorite place
My favorite place in Sweden is the archipelago in Luleå.
I have been in the archipelago for all my life because we
have owned a boat since I was born. The archipelago in
Luleå consists of 1312 islands, but it´s only on a dozen of
them that there is a jetty and a sauna. At a few Islands
there´s also a restaurant. Luleå´s archipelago is one of
the most beautiful in Sweden and it is famous for its rich
and different plant- and animal life. Here is a short
presentation of our three most popular islands to visit.
3. Hindersön
One of the biggest islands in Luleå is Hindersön. Since
the 16th century people have lived at the island, but
today there are just a few persons that live there all the
year. On Hindersön there is a guesthouse where you can
eat or sleep. Many people that live in Luleå go to
Hindersön to celebrate our tradition "Midsommar“ in
June.

4. Kluntarna
Kluntarna is one of the most
interesting islands to visit if
you want to experience the
entire archipelago in one
place. Kluntarna has a
different animal- and plant
A labyrint
life. On the island there are
paths where you can see
labyrinths and
“kluntgubben” which is a
large rock that resembles a
human head in profile.

5. Sandögrynnorna-Skvalpen
On this island you find the best beach in
Luleå archipelago, so if you want to bath
- this is the right place! There were two
separate islands that over time have
become intertwined to one. The island is
mainly composed of sand, so it´s easy to
find your own beach. On the island
there are many rare species of birds, for
that reason is one part of island a nature
reserve. So people are just allowed to
visit that part from the first of August.
6. The archipelago in Winter
In winter you can also visit the
archipelago, but then by car because
there are plowed ice roads to the
biggest islands. I would say that it´s a
really cool experience to do, because it´s
a special feeling to be transported by car
over water.
