Nässlingen

Information

Nässlingen is an attraction for all ages. You can stay in a cottage, go for a swim, take a stroll, go fishing, go for a meal and get inspired by the views, the smells and the peacefulnes.

Nässlingen is a former archiepelago homestead - an agricultural property with living quarters and land. When the homestead was closed down in the 1940s, the treasurer of the carpenters’ union, Efraim Andersson (grandfather of Benny Andersson from ABBA), managed to get the union to buy the island to make it into a holiday island for builders.
In 1977, the union Svenska Byggnadsarbetareförbundet built conference facilities on the island. Later, the place has been run as both a holiday village/hotel and conference facilities. But not anymore.

At Nässlingen, there is now, once again, an archipelago farm with grazing animals preserving the open landscape and plans for a farmyard dairy with on-site cheese production. There are also cottages for rent, a guest harbour with 66 berths with y-booms and new toilet and shower facilities. In summer, the restaurant Framfickan “Bryggan på Nässlingen” is open to guests.

Around the perimeter of the island, there is an exercise trail of about two kilometers which is also suitable for people with disabilities. Kvarnholmen on the south side of the harbour has remnants of an old windmill and on the southern point there are remnants of an earlier settlement. There is a shallow beach on the south side of Kvarnholmen and lovely smooth rocky areas by the water on the western part of the island. Nässlingen also has a football ground, a barbeque area and a boule court.
