Brändöskär
An old fishing village in the outer islands of Luleå, with rows of red fishermen's huts, a small chapel, and wide sea views.
Brändöskär is an old fishing village in the outer archipelago that was once a summer herring fishing ground. It retains rows of red fishermen's cottages and a small chapel, and its open rocky coastline offers views across the Gulf of Bothnia. In summer, boats leave from the South Harbour in Luleå (about 2 hours one way), and you can also book a day trip. The island has very few facilities, so bring your own food or book a cabin ahead of time, and dress warmly when it is windy.
