20220627_34k Road of sand & rocks on Gotska Sandön National Park, Sweden
A paradise island that I visited for the first time between June 26 and July 3, 2022. :)
You have to bring all your own food and stay in the single little camping area (which has mostly cottages and tents). And you have to walk from the ferry to the camp - up to 8 km depending on the wind etc, but the most common distance seemed to be 4 km. However, the luggage is hauled by a tractor. :)
In short, it's not child-friendly. :D Although some ambitious people still brought their offspring. :O
I took the train from Gothenburg to Stockholm, then the commuter train from Stockholm to Nynäshamn. Spent the short night on the quay in Nynäshamn, sleeping a little bit while hiding from mosquitos. Then I took a seasickness pill and slept more on the comfy little ferry to Gotska.
So there is a bit of a logistical hassle involved in getting there. Not complaining. :D The hassle may explain why I only saw approximately 1 piece of litter during the entire week - people who bother to visit are probably actual nature fans. :p Not the type who go "Uh, I went for a walk in the woods today. But I don't like it that much, so I tried to ruin it with a candy wrapper, a diaper, and a beer can. I hope loads of wildlife will get injured by my shit."
In the camping village I rented a tiny room in a cottage consisting of 2 such tinyrooms (each with a bunk bed) and a shared kitchen. My cottage was called Oskar. :) There's also a communal kitchen (for the tent-renters), showers, drinking water, recycling, and surprisingly clean outhouses.
Helicopters can land, but visiting is discouraged if you have frail health. o_O Though there is a priest (...) who can presumably grant you the last rites. (Not to my anti-theist ass obviously.)
