Ängsö – Sweden’s first national park
Come to Ängsö National Park to explore some of Roslagen’s most magnificent scenery and learn about its cultural history. In 1909 it became the first national park in Sweden.
This
protected status means that we can now enjoy a wonderful slice of old
Sweden with hayfields and pastures that have been tended to for hundreds
of years by agricultural labourers.
There are plenty
of good places to swim and a network of walking trails. The paths are
signposted and easy to follow, even if you have a pram or are in a
wheelchair. There is a rich variety of bird life and if you are lucky
you might even catch a glimpse of a white-tailed eagle or fish hawk.
Don’t miss a visit to The Nature Room (Naturrummet) with its interesting
exhibition.
