After just an hour’s boat trip from Stockholm, you reach Grinda, in the middle of a lush archipelago nature. It is a popular and well-traveled destination offering both hotels, hostels, guest harbor and cabins for rent, such as a country shop, glass shop, café and restaurant. As well as farming, grazing land, bare rocks and lush greenery to wander through. It was the Nobel Foundation Director Henrik Santesson, who bought Grinda in 1906, and built a thousand square meters of Art Nouveau palace as a summer residence for himself and his family. The big stone villa is today Grinda Wärdshus.
The whole of Grinda is today a nature reserve, with agriculture and animal husbandry as a prerequisite for the landscape to be kept open and alive. Barrskog, løvlundar, open farmland and grazing herds like brooks make the walk across the island, between Grindas both breweries, a popular attraction. The concept of Grinda includes summertime also a varied range of activities such as music nights, regatta and barbecue evenings.
