A bit of adventure this weekend to Trossö-Kalvö-Lindö. These three islands are today really one island as a result of the land elevation. Land elevation has been going on since the last ice age and still continues by 1 mm per year. There are no cars on the island but there’s a 5 km road that was built around 1930. The plans was to build a bridge over the 150 meter Havstensund strait, but with the rapid decline in population the plans was sent to the scrap bin. In 1930 there was 80 inhabitants but in 2005 only 10.

Today almost all of the island is a nature preserve. Tthe thin soil layers with sand and lime makes the flora rich. The fields are kept open by the freely grazing highland cattle on the island. The islands can only be reached by private boat but they are well worth a visit. I will share some more pictures in the coming weeks.

Among cows, watch your step. Ha de Gött!
