Österl

Österl is a small, uninhabited island located in the Stockholm Archipelago, Sweden. It is situated in the outer reaches of the archipelago, offering a remote and natural environment. The island is characterized by its rocky shores, sparse vegetation, and a general sense of tranquility. Its geographical position makes it a part of the larger administrative region of Värmdö Municipality.

The natural landscape of Österl is typical of the outer archipelago, with a combination of coniferous trees, moss-covered rocks, and small inlets. The waters surrounding the island are relatively shallow in places, with submerged rocks posing a hazard to navigation. Due to its undeveloped nature, Österl provides a habitat for various seabirds and marine life.

Access to Österl is primarily by private boat. There are no permanent structures or infrastructure on the island, making it a destination for those seeking solitude and a connection with nature. Visitors often come for activities such as kayaking, fishing, or simply enjoying the peaceful coastal scenery. The island's remoteness means that self-sufficiency is key for any visitors. Österl remains a largely untouched natural reserve within the bustling archipelago.
