Tjust archipelago
Tjust archipelago is renowned for its beauty and its varied scenery. The lush islands
of the inner archipelago contrast with the bare rock of those towards the outer
edge. In ‘The Wonderful Adventures of Nils’, Selma Lagerlöf describes Tjust Parish
as “being unable to decide whether it wanted to be land or sea. Bays ran in everywhere and cut the land up into islands and peninsulas and points and capes.”
Tjust archipelago is relatively large, extending
nearly 70 km from Valdemarsviken and the Gryt
archipelago in the north to the boundary between Västervik and Oskarshamn in the south,
at the start of the Misterhult archipelago.
Scenery
The archipelago is made up of ancient rocks,
granites and hard quartzite. Traces of glaciation can be found everywhere, such as rock
striations, giant kettle holes, cobblefields, and
polished, rounded coastal rocks.
Animal and plant life is rich and varied. In the
archipelago, the rare Apollo butterfly has one
its strongest footholds in the country, and the
sea eagle, Europe’s largest bird of prey, has
become common in recent years. On land the
white, sticky catchfly is a characteristic plant
species, while under the surface of the sea,
forests of bladder wrack sway gently in the
currents. Thanks to the archipelago’s many
inlets, depths and channels, underwater species diversity is great. Enormous pikes lurk
in the vegetation, waiting for tench and perch,
but rarer species like the Grass Prawn, the
straightnosed pipefish and the two-spotted
goby are also found here. At the Naturum in
Västervik you can learn more about the Baltic
Sea and the special natural history of the
archipelago (see page 21).
Inhabited since the Stone Age
The archipelago is a cultural landscape that
has been inhabited since the Stone Age, initially just seasonally but more permanently
since the Middle Ages. In a deed of gift dated
1429, it is stated that the entire archipelago
between “Fliesesund and Idöösund, with all
the associated fisheries, have always been in
and under the control of Fougelvik”.
Year-round population
Around twenty of the archipelago’s 5 000
islands, cobs and skerries are now inhabited
all year round. On many of the islands, only a
few people live, while others have larger
populations, such as Hasselö-Sladö where
approximately 25 people live all year round.
The total permanent population of the entire
archipelago is approximately 130. Many of
these are elderly, but there are also children
who travel to school by boat every day. In the
past, fishing and farming were the main occupations, and these still form the foundation
of the archipelago’s economy, but today they
are supplemented by sectors such as transport, carpentry and tourism. Many islanders
also commute to jobs on the mainland.
Interesting destinations
in Tjust archipelago
There are many interesting places to visit in
the archipelago, in addition to the most popular islands. In the north, for example, is the
old fishing village of
Väderskär, originating from the
Middle Ages and
where there is a
17th-century wooden chapel. Like
Idö, Stedsholmen is
an old pilot station
and, at the very edge of
the archipelago,
Storkläppen is the only lighthouse. Further south, Spårö Båk
is a well-known beacon that has become
a symbol for the whole of Västervik.
Kungsgrundet was named after King
Christopher of Bayern, King of Sweden,
Denmark-Norway, ran aground here in 1446.

Take the boat to the centre
New for this year is a circle line between the three
jetties (Västervik, Gränsö Castle and Lysings­
badet), which makes it simple to travel by boat in
the town. An all-day ticket costs SEK 50 for adults.
This allows you to travel as much as you want between the three jetties. Tickets are sold on board.
