Murgrund and Österskäret

Murgrund is close to many locals’ hearts. Its area is 13.4 hectares and length in north-south direction is 900 metres which makes it befitting for stretching one’s legs after paddling or hidin a geocache.

It pays off to bring binoculars to catch a glimpse of black guillemots or razorbills. Caspian terns and others can also be seen on the islands. How many species can you spot? Perhaps you’ll even see a seal’s head emerge to the surface.

There is a beautiful cotton field on the islands and a small sauna. The sauna of Murgrund is a small red cabin where fishermen stayed overnight while fishing or hunting.

Österskäret boasts a camp-fire place, an outside toilet, a small waste station and a windbreak for overnighting. The island is beautiful and interesting to tour. Its area is 9.2 hectares, and it is 600 metres long in north-south direction.
