Stockholm Archipelago Trail - section Utö

Section Utö is a challenging and rewarding 16.7 km hike that captures the essence of the entire Stockholm Archipelago Trail. Here, vibrant island life meets untouched wilderness. You’ll pass through lively village streets and deep, quiet forests. The trail shifts from broad gravel roads to narrow winding paths, and finally to rugged, rocky stretches that demand focus and balance. One moment you're surrounded by people and island life – the next, you’re completely alone with the sound of wind and waves.
This is a walk through Sweden’s cultural landscape, where traces of history are never far away. And when you reach the east side, the sea opens up, bathed in sunlight.
