Small harbor with a ferry dock. A few small souvenir shops and restaurants. Camper parking space right on the water. Camper waste disposal available (50 SEK, 08/2025, must be paid at the harbor office; those who paid for the camper parking space receive free waste disposal.)

A very nice photo backdrop. The rocky beach is directly behind it. My recommendation: => wear water shoes here.

It takes about 2 hours. In 2024, the first ferry will depart from Öland at 11.30 a.m.

It always has a view of the water. I was also lucky that the wind was kind to me.
