One of the main communities here is Harstena.

Harstena has remnants already from the ironage and it´s community is mentioned by the Swedish tax authorities in the early 16th century.

Living from fish and sealhunting it´s population was slightly less than 100 people in the 19th century but today there are only a few people living permanently.

In the summer though the island is busy with summerguests and there´s a bakery,grocerystore and a restaurant open in highseason.

We came here for a weekend with Felix and his girlfriend Kajsa. Being off season we had no problems finding the best moorinplace alongside the restaurant.
