Vätö i Roslagen Stockholm archipelago
There are plenty of runic stones

Vätö Island is a typical example of the beautiful nature in Roslagen, the archipelago area North-East of Stockholm.

This area is considered to be of great historical value, with many old buildings. Crofts (small old cottages) and farms dating back to the 19:th century are nicely situated in a landscape full of fields, pastures and woodland. Many of the older habitations were built to accommodate the labor of the Vätö Quarry. This is no longer in working order, but the site is still intact and well worth a visit.

The northern part of the island has got a different character, with summer cottages rather than year-round population. In the middle of the island you'll find the central village Harg. Here you can take buses to Norrtälje and also shop groceries in the convenience store Tempo (open daily).
