Pilhain

Pilhain is a small, uninhabited island located in the Stockholm Archipelago, Sweden. It is situated in the municipality of Värmdö. The island is characterized by its rocky shores and sparse vegetation, typical of many islands in the region. Its geographical coordinates are approximately 59.38 degrees North latitude and 18.58 degrees East longitude.

Historically, Pilhain likely served as a landmark or resting point for seafarers navigating the complex waterways of the archipelago. Like many other islands in the Stockholm Archipelago, it is believed to have been shaped by glacial activity during the last Ice Age. The bedrock is primarily granite, a common geological feature of the area.

Due to its lack of permanent inhabitants and limited resources, Pilhain has not been a site of significant human settlement or industrial development. Its primary value is ecological, contributing to the biodiversity of the archipelago. The surrounding waters are important for marine life, and the island itself may provide nesting grounds for seabirds.

Access to Pilhain is typically by private boat. As part of the Stockholm Archipelago, it is subject to the natural cycles and environmental conditions of the Baltic Sea. There are no public facilities or services available on the island. Its remote nature makes it a pristine example of the natural landscape found throughout this extensive island chain.
