Öland
Southern Sweden, SwedenThe Swedish royals have made Öland their summer getaway for over 100 years, and from the moment you step onto the country’s second largest island, it’s not hard to understand why. Easy to reach, its nature is striking wherever you are, from the large fields that dominate the south west and the deciduous forestry in the central area, to the dramatic cliffs and coastline of ‘Stenkusten’ (the stone coast).
Its special traits makes Öland a haven for a wide range of visitors. From nature lovers attracted by the 75 nature reserves, with fauna specific to the island and hundreds of bird and wildlife species, to windsurfers and kite surfers making the most of the ever-present breeze. History and culture buffs will learn more about the origins of its ancient ruins, rune stones and rauk fields.
