It is commonly said that the archipelago down here, less than an hour from Downtown Stockholm, is more barren and unexploited than that nearer Stockholm. In many ways, Nynäshamn is the gateway to the islands and countries of the Baltic. Nynäshamn and, not least, the island of Öja (also called Landsort) is definitely the last outpost to the sea. Here, seabirds brood undisturbed and sea eagles glide majestically over the smooth bays and unspoiled islands. Here, it’s easy to find your own special place, and you will be close to great experiences. We hope and believe that the magazine you hold in your hand will guide and inspire you to a rewarding meeting with Nynäshamn, the surroundings and its archipelago.

Nynäshamn 003 m a g a s i n Nynäshamn in figures 26,040 - inhabitants in the municipality according to the most recent survey 52,8 – number of kilometres from Stockholm Globe Arena to Nynäs Rökeri (the fishing harbour in Nynäshamn). Source: Eniro.se 43.2 – kilometres from Globen to the church in Ösmo. Source: Eniro.se 1,900 - sunshine hours per year according to SMHI. This not only makes Nynäshamn the sunniest in the County of Stockholm, but also puts it among the absolute elite in Sweden together with, for example, Gotland. 1,000 - kilometres of coast in the municipality 1,852 – islands and islets with a total circumference of 520 km 27 – rune stones in the municipality, giving Nynäshamn the second highest density of rune stones in Sweden 7,514 – boat nights in the guest harbour in 2010 36 – holes on the golf course in Körunda 5 – commuter train stations photo: niclas sjögren 2 – international ferry connections Poland (Gdansk) and Latvia (Ventspils) 004 Nynäshamn m a g a s i n 10 – maximum distance in kilometres from the sea when you are in the Municipality of Nynäshamn 11 – gym machines in the world’s longest (outdoor) gym along the road Strandvägen. T here are numerous remains from the Stone Age and Viking Age in the area, though the town of Nynäshamn cannot be said to have taken shape until 1898. It was the start of the building of the railway that year that cleared the way for what was to be the starting shot for several industries in the municipality as well as a spa resort on the Island of Trehörningen – a spa resort that lay fallow for decades until it rose from the ashes to become a modern spa resort in 2003. The first big boom in terms of the population trend was when the railway connected Stockholm to Nynäshamn. The number of inhabitants in what was then called the Parish of Ösmo increased from 100 to 1700 in 10 years. The tele-workshops were then established in the 1920s. These workshops would later take on a new guise under the management of Telia and finally Ericsson, which closed down its factories here a couple of years ago. At the end of the 1920s, the Johnson Group’s oil refinery Nynäs was also set up here, one of the biggest employers in the municipality to this day. The number of inhabitants in the Municipality of Nynäshamn has recently passed 26,000. The building of new dwellings is flourishing and many believe the new motorway from Stockholm and the expansion of double tracks for the commuter train will have almost as great an impact on Nynäshamn as the railway had more than 100 years ago. photo: niclas sjögren Photo: Gösta rising Nynäshamn, a summary Nynäshamn 005 m a g a s i n On and by the water Photo: Lars Bohman The Baltic gateway Nynäshamn has a long history as a port. Already at the beginning of the 20th century, the port’s potential was clear. With the deepwater harbour, which is easily accessible by big vessels, large quantities of goods are loaded and unloaded here. There is also a busy passenger service, especially in summer when a million people visit the Island of Gotland. You can also cross the Baltic from Nynäshamn. Polferries will take you to Gdansk in Poland and Scandlines goes to Ventspils in Latvia, and if you would like to travel to the desolate and maybe most beautiful sandy beaches in Northern Europe, take the boat to Gotska Sandön. Waxholmsbolaget operates regular services all the year round including to Landsort, Nåttarö, Ålö and Rånö. If you would like to go to Trosa, a local operator runs services in the summer. Seal safari on the outskirts of the archipelago is another popular excursion. There are also archipelago cruises, including through the dramatic Draget Canal. It is a curious fact that the sea that entices us to swim in the summer offers fantastic skating in the winter. The winter climate around Stockholm, with a temperature around freezing, provides ideal conditions for ice. As well as all the bays, the lakes also offer excellent conditions. You can almost always find good skating ice from December to March. For more info and all inclusive arrangements see www.iceguide.se 006 Nynäshamn m a g a s i n Photo: Niclas Sjögren Walk on water Photo: Gösta Rising Photo: Niclas Sjögren Swimming fun As you are never far from water in the Municipality of Nynäshamn, you are never far from a refreshing swim. We have some absolute favourites. Muskan is a lake that usually keeps a comfortable temperature, by Scandinavian standards, but it is the seaside resorts that attract most swimmers. Inside the skerries, Nickstabadet is Nynäshamn’s answer to Waikiki Beach. One of the most beautiful, popular and really wild places to swim with an unbroken horizon is out on Knappelskär by Lövhagen. The temperature, however, is, to put it mildly, moderate. The warmest place is usually in Rassa Vikar by Kärringboda. The harbour steps up The jetty Havstrappan in the fishing port is a summer classic. If you like to see and, even more, be seen, Havstrappan is the place – easy to put in at and the perfect place to mingle, with ice cream, smoked fish, sea food and fast food. Great fishing Fishing tours are normally carried out in the waters outside Muskö and Dalarö, and, yes, the fish bite readily. We can mention, for example, that the record weights in kilos for the guided tours currently stand at: Pike 15.5, perch 1.7, sea trout 9.8, pikeperch 6.7 and salmon 25.4 kilos. Most of the catch is put back. The picture shows Hasse Skoglund with a salmon of almost 22 kilos. For more info, see www.fiskeguidning.se An eldorado for wrecks Nowhere else in the world has as many old wooden wrecks. The unique environment in the brackish water of the Baltic Sea means that the shipworm, which is fatal to wooden boats, cannot survive here. This has led to the waters in the southern part of Stockholm’s archipelago having the highest density of old wooden shipwrecks. Many organisers arrange dives to the best wrecks. More info: www.nocdyk.com Photo: Pontus Svanberg Nynäshamn 007 m a g a s i n Tasty bites in Nynäs There is no better souvenir than one you can eat or drink. Here are our suggestions for some tasty bites you don’t want to miss on your visit to Nynäshamn. photo: Rolf Oxhagen For more information about where to buy these tasty bites please contact the Tourist Information Office. www.visitnynashamn.se or +46 (0)8 520 737 00 Smoked keeps Smoking used to be a way of preserving food, just like salting was for fish and meat. Yes, some even claim that smoking is an older way of preserving meat and fish than salting. Today, smoking is more about enhancing the taste experience. At Nynäs Rökeri, you will find everything from smoked eel to smoked Baltic herring. Two other favourites are smoked prawns and locally caught whitefish smoked here – just perfect for a picnic on the quay. Traditional cake Sorunda has big farms with a thousand years of history and the area abounds with ancient remains, not least from the Viking Age (approx 792 to 1100, ie, late Iron Age). The Sorunda cake is still baked here to this day. The cake recipe is so secret that an 00 agent would have to take the life of anyone he told. Out of consideration for our readers, we will not disclose any 008 Nynäshamn m a g a s i n ingredients other than butter and sugar, but we can disclose that it tastes like no other cake and that your best chance of a taste is at Sorunda Hembygdsförening. The cake is also available to buy at Ösmo Plantshop, Växtstigen 1, by Ösmo junction. Brewed by Ångbryggeriet The editorial staff fell for several of the dozen or so different beers produced by Nynäshamns Ångbryggeri, but as the lager lovers we are, our first recommendation is Landsort Lager. It is a light Swedish lager with balanced sweetness and medium bitterness – and if you taste it very carefully you may, like Sweden’s most read beer expert Göran Winberg, discover tones with hints of freshly baked buns and summer apples. Landsort Lager and many other beers from Ångbryggeriet are available from Systembolaget*. * Systembolaget is the Swedish Alcohol Retail Monopoly and is open daily except Sundays. Nynäshamn delicacies Luxurious and delicious. And most likely good for your well being, by all means. Chocoholics Old school goodies The cocoa boom of recent years cannot have escaped anyone’s notice, and Chokladhuset and Tryffelfabriken in Nynäshamn are quite close to paradise for all chocolate and sweet aficionados. Luxurious and delicious. And most likely good for your well being, by all means. Old-fashioned delicacies of world class – that is the aim of Nilssons Köttaffär. Real, well-hung, handmade cured meats and many local and organic products such as fresh eggs and potatoes from Sorunda. Sausage lengthwise Hunny At Segersängsvägen 10 in Sorunda you will find something as unusual as a real sausage factory that makes something as unusual as real, hand-tied sausages. The Sorunda sausages were previously found mostly at restaurants, but they are now also available in many shops in the Municipality of Nynäshamn. The sausages are sold in shops from Nyköping in the south to Norrtälje in the north. The bestsellers are primarily Sorundaringen, a lightly smoked and boiled sausage, and the Chorizo, a lovely sausage with just the right amount of heat. Whether you are a bear of very little brain, or have a sweet tooth for bee products you’ll love Nynäshamns local honey from the island Herrö. Spices and jam The spice mixture Skärgårdssalt is almost a classic, but we would also like to recommend the super-fresh jam Skärgårdssylt (raspberry, blackberry, strawberry and blueberry). And if you visit the shop, don’t miss the slightly hot mustard Skärgårdssenap (saffron and whisky flavour). Nynäshamn 009 m a g a s i n There are so many attractions in the area. Depending on your level of ambition, different sights attract different people. We have put together a collection of some of the most popular places to visit in the municipality. Places to visit In the footsteps of the Vikings photo: HG-Bild There are 27 rune stones in the municipality, making it one of the top municipalities in Sweden in terms of number of rune stones. And if you follow the old road between Djursnäs and Vansta, you will see several interesting rune stones and grave fields. The area was very densely populated during the Iron Age. The rune stones were raised around the year 1000, ie, during what is usually called the Viking Age, and are often located in connection to roads and fords. Although the stones were often raised in memory of someone, they are not really gravestones. Landsort is the last outpost to the sea in the south for the municipality and the whole of the Stockholm area. Here the archipelago is at its most barren, least exploited and most beautiful. You cannot go further out. This is home to an exotic collection of birds (they pass through in the autumn and spring), Sweden’s oldest lighthouse (dating from the 1650s) and one of Sweden and Europe’s most spectacular Bed & Breakfasts: the old pilot lookout tower. Pilotage services for passing vessels operate from the island’s western harbour. Don’t miss the plague churchyard, ancient maze, art exhibition and tiny chapel. Landsort offers several options for overnight accommodation as well as a restaurant and simple cafés. Boat trips depart daily all the year round. For more info visit www.visitnynashamn.se. 010 Nynäshamn m a g a s i n photo: Mikael Egdahl Furthest out A pair of churches Whatever you do, don’t miss two of Sweden’s most interesting churches on your visit to the Municipality of Nynäshamn. Sorunda Church is one of the biggest churches in Södermanland. The oldest parts of the stone church date from the end of the 12th century. The church has the oldest noble crypt in Sweden and a Madonna cabinet from the late 15th century. Ösmo also has a stunning church dating from the 12th century. Inside, the church is decorated with frescos that were added just after the mid-15th century. The paintings are said to be by Peter Målare and his disciple Albertus Pictor, the most famous church painter of the Middle Ages. More recent research, however, has established that Peter Målare did not really exist so to speak. It must therefore have been Alber- places A nicer spa tus Pictor alone who produced the paintings in Ösmo Church, and that is not to be sneered at. Here, we can add a piece of useless information about August Strindberg, Sweden’s answer to Shakespeare, who despite being an atheist most of his life, gave trial sermons in Ösmo Church. Plants and coffee Ösmo Plantshop has become a popular place with visitors. It’s not just the plants and garden-related shopping that attract people. The plant shop is one of only a few places in the municipality where you can enjoy a coffee and the legendary local delicacy Sorundatårtan cake. It also serves lunch. Although it is now an ultramodern spa resort, it has a long history ist qv lm dating back no Pa n a r Gö o: less than a hunot Ph dred years. At the start of the 20th century, Nynäshamn invested in a spa resort. The resort, Nynäs Havsbad, was built, attracting prominent guests who wanted health baths at the spa. A few years ago, the facility underwent a complete renovation, and today it is one of Sweden’s most exclusive spa facilities. The most beautiful skerry Knappelskär is the last mainland promontory at the end of Gårdsfjärden to the south. There is a spectacular, to say the least, fissure cave to discover as well as two fantastic beaches. There are also two barbecue areas at the end where the beaches meet the great cliff. The walk around Lövhagen Nature Reserve via Bötet and Stockbonäs (where the wakeboard club meets) does of course also include this beautiful peninsula. Butterflies in the quarry An environmentally damaging activity has laid the foundations for a spectacular sight. With the now closed cement factory, the grounds around the limestone quarry in Stora Vika were opened up to exotic flora and fauna. The calcareous ground combined with the open landscape has attracted a range of unusual life. Those who take the butterfly path around the limestone quarry can expect to find the Apollo butterfly and silver-washed fritillary as well as the plants crimson crane’s-bill and musk thistle. There is also beaver, common newt and much else to see when it comes to animals and plants. The limestone quarry is a sight in its own right and an added bonus. m a g a s i n Nynäshamn 011 Everyone’s right Sweden has a well-established law and practice known as Allemansrätten (common right of access to private land). This law gives you the right to enjoy nature, also on privately owned land. You can even camp for up to three nights without special permission just about anywhere, provided you do so outside private home zones, which usually cover approximately a normal garden or the area within sight of a residential property or other place where a person resides. You may of course not pick cultivated flowers, crops or fruit, though you can take berries and mushrooms. Nor can you build a fire anyhow, litter or damage nature in any way. If you paddle south from the guest harbor you will eventually end up where this picture was taken last summer. If you hurry it takes 20 minutes, if you’re more laid back you will spend an hour in the kayak before reaching the southern part of the island Yttre Gården. If you would like to paddle in Nynäshamn, there are practically no limits other than your imagination. Kayaks are available for hire in many places in the municipality. Photo: Niclas Sjögren 012 Nynäshamn m a g a s i n m a g a s i n Nynäshamn 013 Sideways Nynäshamn At the end of the 1970’s, a few wave-surfing Swedes discovered that surfable waves rolled in to Torö Stenstrand in Ören Nature Reserve. At the same time, windsurfing had become widely popular, and the most dedicated surfers made their way to Torö when the waves were at their biggest. The windsurfers wanted wind and waves while the wave surfers preferred big waves without wind – quite an unusual phenomenon in the Baltic Sea area. Torö Stenstrand soon became nationally famous in wave-surfing circles, and in 1985 the first Swedish Wave Surfing Championships were arranged there. Since then, this has been repeated at least 90 per cent of the time that it has been possible to arrange Swedish Championships. At the end of the 1990s, the kite surfers also discovered Torö, and today there is no surfing location more legendary than this stony beach. As well as wave, wind- and kite surfing, Nynäshamn has also become known as an eldorado for wakeborders. The traditional Nynäshamn waterskiing club has changed its name to Nynäshamns Wakeboardklubb, NWK, and recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. For more on championships, a trial ride and membership see www.nwk.nu. NWK is without a doubt one of Sweden’s most trendy clubs, not least for young talents. Johan Wikström (photo), for example, has competed quite a bit for the national team and has a Swedish Championship gold medal in his prize collection. Photo: Skimarine Waketeam, Patrik Österberg, Niclas Sjögren. 014 Nynäshamn m a g a s i n board sports Torö Stenstrand is located in Ören Nature Reserve, approximately 20 km from the centre of Nynäshamn, 60 km south of Stockholm. Head for Herrhamra and turn right just before Ankarudden, immediately after the beautiful beech avenue. Keep left, park and go down to the water by the first public car park. The waves at Torö Stenstrand are best with a straight southerly wind, but a south-westerly or south-easterly wind can also produce surfable waves. The waves at Torö Stenstrand need to be at least 1 m high to be worth the effort of going there (check the wave height at www.smhi.se). In summer, the waves are seldom as big as they are later in the year. Autumn is the best time for waves and the Swedish Surfing Championships usually take place at Torö Stenstrand on a Saturday at the end of September or beginning of October, depending on the conditions. The secret to Torö Stenstrand often having surfable waves is partly its exposed location and partly the profile of the seabed: deep sea that quickly becomes shallow. m a g a s i n Nynäshamn 015 smorgasbord A feast of jazz A little Swedish glossary In each word, stress the part which is in capital letters.

Nynäshamn closer Some claim that the new motorway that now is completed, road 73, is the biggest thing that has happened to Nynäshamn since the railway was built at the beginning of the 20th century. Now it takes only 30 minutes to reach Nynäshamn from the Stockholm Globe Arena. Investments in trains Nynäsbanan, the local railway between Västerhaninge and Nynäshamn, will be refurbished with passing tracks at Nynäsgård and construction of a double track on the Västerhaninge-Tungelsta stretch. The work is expected to be completed in 2012. Photo: Heidi Ekberg Notable visit Bird lovers in Nynäshamn are spoilt. Every now and then, more or less exotic birds come by. One of the more unusual species in recent times was the Mandarin duck, which visited the harbour area. The Mandarin duck belongs in Asia, but has been seen colonising parts of the British Isles. We don’t yet know if it has come to stay in Nynäshamn. Nynäshamn is an eldorado for birdwatchers with many unusual species passing by here every year. Species like the sea eagle, tern, cormorant and eider are among the more common sightings. Fire In mid-October, the archipelago will celebrate the start of autumn. This is a quieter period than the summer, which is noticeable by the restaurants and other businesses putting on special events. Fireworks, torchlight processions, special menus, excursions, punch and a BBQ theme will light up the autumn evenings. The theme is quite simply fire. For more information, see www.visitskargarden.se. Pick some sun Nothing beats the sunflower when it comes to beauty. Ask Vincent van Gogh. Sunflowers are usually ready for picking in July and August. The arrangement is pick your own, self-service and self-payment. Leave the money in a sweet little letterbox. What could be more picturesque than picking sunflowers in Hoxla in Sorunda? A three kilometer workout The world’s longest gym is of course outdoors, along the lovely Strandvägen (colloquially Ringvägen) to be exact. The course, or the gym, is 3 kilometers one way and has 5 stations with a total of 11 gym machines. The editorial staff have of course tried it out and can confirm that it is not just the world’s longest but also the world’s nicest-looking gym. Use of the machines and views of the unbroken sea horizon are completely free. Natural gas The building of the terminal for liquefied natural gas (LNG) at Brunnsviksholmen started in autumn 2008. LNG is natural gas converted to liquid form by cooling it. That process reduces its volume by a factor of more than 600. The terminal, which is in operation since May 2011, is the first of its kind in the Baltic sea. New Port Ports of Stockholm is planning a new freight port for rolling cargo and containers at Norvik (Nynäshamn). The construction start date will be set as soon as all permits are granted. NCC is planning a Logistics and Business Park of 600,000 square metres in the same area. For more information: www.stoports.com Live to shop Alkärrsplan Utvecklings AB, a company owned by two Norwegian companies and the Municipality of Nynäshamn, is planning to build a 15 500 m2 big shopping centre at Alkärrsplan in central Nynäshamn. New dwellings and car parks are also being planned for, with direct access to the shopping centre. The Fishing harbour The formal procedure of planning for the development of the picturesque fishing harbour of Nynäshamn started during 2010. The framework consists of a “harbour vision” formulated by an appointed group of politicians, two architectural designed proposals and comments and proposals sent in from the public. The objectives are to develop the fishing- and guest harbour to a more vivid area and make a natural attachment to the town centre. A variety of Housing There are several on-going building projects with different kinds of housing: Picturesque red wooden houses in Segersäng, a former hospital converted into apartments on the island Trehörningen, an 18-storey, spectacularly designed, apartment house containing 260 apartments with a sea view or your own place in the countryside with space for yourself and for your horse.

With its characteristic profile, it is an excellent navigation mark for sailors. Nynäshamn Church was designed by Professor Lars Israel Wahlman and completed in 1930. The church sewing circle and Kyrkans Vänner (the Friends of the Church) had been collecting money and gifts for over 15 years to pay for the building work. Tel +46 (0)8 520 102 13 www.svenskakyrkan.se/nynashamn Sorunda Church Sorunda Church is one of the largest in Södermanland. The oldest parts of the stone-built church date from the late 12th century The Bååth family chapel is the oldest of its kind in Sweden. The paintings in the chapel date from 1549. The church also contains a Madonna cabinet from the Lübeck workshop of Herman Rode, probably dating from the 1480:s. Swedish author Moa Martinsson is buried at Sorunda Church. Tel +46 (0)8 530 400 17 www.sorundakyrka.se Torö Church Torö Church is a small place of worship, typical of those built in the sparsely populated archipelago parishes. The church was damaged during the Russian assaults of 1719 and lack of money meant it was unable to be rebuilt until 1738 when funds for the restoration work had been collected by means of a national collection. The church was plastered in 1849 and the windows gained their present round-arched shape in connection with renovation work in 1880. The interior was modernised in 1930. www.osmotoro.se Ösmo Church The oldest part of the stone-built church was constructed in the latter part of the 12th century. The interior of the church is decorated with frescos added just after the middle of the 15th century. It is said that the frescos were painted by Peter Målare and his apprentice Albertus Pictor; the most famous church artists of the medieval period. The church also contains a large number of coats of arms used in processions, and a triumphal crucifix.
