In Liljefors' footsteps with a kayak at the far end of the sea

Paddle to Bullerö and experience the cultural history of the archipelago

Join us on a unique half-day tour where nature meets art history. We paddle from Idöborg across Bulleröfjärden, a trip of about 45 minutes, to the legendary island of Bullerö – once a gathering place for the artistic elite, led by Bruno Liljefors, Anders Zorn, and Albert Engström.

Once we arrive, we will have lunch at the hostel in Hemviken, visit Liljefors' summer house Jaktslottet, and take a walk around the island, now part of the Bullerö nature reserve. Here, at the edge of the sea, you will encounter the same wild landscape and light that inspired some of Sweden's most famous artists.

Contact us to book a canoe trip to Bullerö – or combine the trip with a sauna, dinner, and overnight stay at Idöborg.
