Fjaderholmarna
(or Feather Island) is closest island in the Baltic Sea archipelago of islands. It is just 25 minutes from Stockholm's
city centre by boat and part of the National City Park. On his tiny island there are a number
of restaurants, workshops for local craftsmen, and two small museums relating to traditional Swedish boats
- or Allmogebatar - which highlight the island's fishing and maritime history. |
