Andersön Nature Reserve
Andersön
A forested island in Lake Storsjön that is entirely a nature reserve, with a loop trail, lake beaches and Stone Age remains. It is a popular summer outing.
Andersön lies about 20 km southwest of Östersund in Lake Storsjön. The whole island is a nature reserve, with ancient pine forests, meadows and gravel lake beaches. The loop trail is about 6 km long, with barbecue spots and shelters along the way, and you can swim in the lake in summer. The island also has Stone Age settlement sites, ancient burial mounds and 17th-century fortification remains. In summer the Tomé cruise boat often sails to Andersön, making it a great way to experience Swedish outdoor life. Check the boat timetable before setting out.
