The whole SAT in miniature. A vibrant community, rocky outcrops, wetlands, a technical east-coast trail and absolute coastal calm.
Distance: 18.4 km · Difficulty: challenging
Utö is a hiker's dream. Here you find everything the entire trail has to offer in a micro format. A small community, a bustling summer spot, rocky outcrops, wetlands, gravel roads, technical trails, the sea and tranquility. The path along the eastern coast is not to be missed.
Section Utö is a challenging section that has everything. This 18.4 km long section is like the entire Stockholm Archipelago Trail condensed into one section. You get to experience a vibrant community and wild nature. It's a hike where you encounter Swedish cultural history. You walk on everything from open gravel roads to winding forest paths to technical trails in a rocky environment. You meet people, and you feel a total absence of people. You will meet the open sea and the sun on the east side. You will feel it in your soul.
