Discover Trosa: Archipelago, Nature and Culture

Trosa combines historical connections with a wide range of experiences in the archipelago and in nature. Those planning a trip with culture, outdoor activities and water-based pursuits will find a variety of options here for spending eventful days together. When looking for a holiday home in Trosa, it is worth using your planned activities as a guide for organising your trip.

Archipelago, Kayaking and Excursions on the Water

The Trosa archipelago can be explored by kayak or SUP. During the summer season, equipment is also available for hire in Trosa. Beginners may enjoy a paddle trip near Trosa along the coast on Trosa's waterway to Borgmästarholmen. There, you can go ashore at a sandy beach. If you would rather stay on board, you can travel to Kråmö during the summer season on the passenger boat service through the archipelago.

These options allow for different daily routines: A paddle trip combines active time on the water with a stay at the sandy beach, while a boat trip to Kråmö reveals the archipelago from a different perspective. You should take the seasonal offerings into account when planning your trip.

Nature Experiences and Trails Around Trosa

Near Trosa lies Borgmästarholmen, a Natura 2000 site with extensive deciduous woodland, old hollow oaks, rare fungi, lush spring flora and a highly diverse bird population. This also makes the area appealing to travellers who enjoy complementing their holiday with nature observation and walks.

For longer hiking plans, stage 55 of the Sörmlandsleden is a good option. It can be hiked from Prins Alexanders plats at the southern end of Gisesjön to Trosa. Those looking for a shorter sporting activity will find an approximately 1.7-kilometre-long mountain bike trail in the Vitalis outdoor recreation area, a short distance from the centre of Trosa. The trail is rated Blue and includes some Green sections. Trosa Aktivitetspark also has a high-ropes course with ziplines.

The Town's History and Discoveries

Trosa was granted city rights by King Charles IX in 1610. Trosa stadskyrka is protected as a cultural heritage site and provides another historical point of reference. The self-guided city tour with an audio guide leads through the central parts of the town. This allows you to incorporate culture and exploring the town into your trip at your own pace.

Fishing is possible in the Trosaån; a fishing licence is required for this. You should take this specific requirement into account if fishing is one of your holiday plans.

Choosing Accommodation to Suit Your Travel Plans

When choosing a holiday apartment or holiday house in Trosa, the desired mix of town, nature and water can be the deciding factor. For an activity-focused stay, kayaking, SUP, hiking, mountain biking and a high-ropes course can be combined. Those looking for more variety can complement these activities with the audio guide, the town church or a boat trip to Kråmö.

The journey can also be included in your planning: The Trosabussen connects Liljeholmen in Stockholm with Trosa in a journey time of one hour. For further comparisons with nearby places, you can also consider Vagnhärad.
