Ulvön (Ulvöhamn)
Ulvöhamn
The most famous island fishing village on the High Coast, with red fishermen’s houses lining the harbour, a 17th-century chapel and fermented herring as its specialty.
Ulvöhamn, the harbour village on Ulvön, is the most iconic fishing village on the High Coast. A row of red wooden houses and jetties is reflected in the narrow bay. Inside the 17th-century fishermen’s chapel, you will find simple painted decorations. The island is also a well-known producer of surströmming, Sweden’s fermented herring, which you can taste or buy in local shops. From the Lotsberget viewpoint, you can look down over the whole village. In summer, boats run from Docksta, Köpmanholmen and other ports, taking about 1 to 1.5 hours. You can visit for a day trip or stay overnight in a local inn.
