brünkön

Brünkön is a small, uninhabited island located in the Baltic Sea, off the coast of Sweden. Administratively, it belongs to the municipality of Östhammar in Uppsala County. The island is characterized by its rocky terrain and sparse vegetation, typical of the Swedish archipelago environment. Its geographical position places it within a region known for its natural beauty and rich marine life.

The island has historically served various purposes, though none on a large scale. It was likely used by local fishermen for temporary shelter or as a landmark. Due to its isolation and lack of infrastructure, permanent human settlement has never been established on Brünkön. Today, the island is primarily of interest to ornithologists and nature enthusiasts due to the presence of various seabird colonies. Access to Brünkön is generally restricted to boat, and it is not a common tourist destination. The surrounding waters are part of a larger marine protected area, emphasizing the ecological significance of the region.
