*From Vaxholm up the Roslagen coast to Grisslehamn and Öregrund, through the Walloon bruk villages to Uppsala and back via Sigtuna and Skokloster on Lake Mälaren: around 560 km of Baltic granite, royal mounds and palace windows, with free ferries instead of toll stations.*

## The spirit of the route

Roslagen is the Sweden you glimpse from a ferry deck: smooth-polished granite, red boathouses, pines bowing away from the west wind, and between them fjärdar – open bays – where not a breath of wind stirs in the evening. North of Stockholm it quickly grows quiet. The roads wind through forest and fields to fishing harbours like Grisslehamn, where the Sea of Åland begins, and to wooden towns like Öregrund, where summer still smells of tar and smoked fish. Inland lies the other Uppland: the manor houses and workers’ terraces of the Walloon ironworks, rune stones by the roadside, the royal mounds of Gamla Uppsala, the cathedral above the Fyrisån. From the sliding door you look out in the morning on skerries in the haze, in the evening on the mirror-smooth water of Lake Mälaren near Sigtuna. The stages are short, the ferries free, the distances manageable – this route rewards those who drive slowly and stop often.

## Stage-by-stage plan

### Stage 1: Stockholm to Vaxholm (approx. 40 km)

- **The drive:** On this route Stockholm is only the starting point. If you start in the west by Lake Mälaren, drive via Bromma and Solna to the E18 towards Norrtälje without using the Essingeleden, leave it at Arninge and follow road 274 east over bridges and islands to Vaxholm. A good 45 minutes outside rush hour. The last few kilometres are narrow and busy in summer; in the town itself the lanes are tight and parking for motorhomes is scarce.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Vaxholms kastell: the 16th- to 19th-century fortress on its own island in the sound, with a fortress museum. Reachable only by the small passenger ferry from the Strandkajen quay.
  - The wooden houses by the harbour and in the lanes behind Hamngatan, plus the view of the steamers and archipelago boats that leave from here for the outer skerries.
  - The Vaxholmsleden ferry to Rindö: around six minutes across the sound, free of charge, with the Oscar-Fredriksborg fortress on the opposite shore.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** In Stockholm, outside the inner-city zone, there are Ängby Camping on the shore of Lake Mälaren in Bromma and Bredäng Camping in the south-west, both with electricity, toilets and showers, water and waste disposal, and metro connections to the centre. In Vaxholm itself, Waxholms Camping is on the edge of town; check the season, pitch size and facilities in advance, and book in high summer.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** On Vaxholm and Rindö the public car parks are tight, often time-limited and in some cases explicitly closed to motorhomes or overnight parking. Free camping is not a realistic option here; plan to spend the evening on a site.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Congestion tax (trängselskatt): on weekdays from 6:00 to 18:29 Stockholm charges a fee for journeys into and out of the inner city and on the Essingeleden (E4/E20). Cameras record the number plate automatically; there are no barriers. Foreign-registered vehicles are also liable; invoicing and payment are handled by EPASS24, the partner appointed by Transportstyrelsen, where you can also register and pay online. Weekends, public holidays, certain days before public holidays and July, except its first five working days, are free. Choose your Stockholm site so that you do not have to cross the zone at all, and take the metro or commuter train into the old town.

### Stage 2: Vaxholm to Norrtälje (via Åkersberga) (approx. 70 km)

- **The drive:** Take the 274 back to the mainland and north to Åkersberga, the main town of Österåker municipality. From there, country roads lead through farmland and forest to the E18 and along the well-built road to Norrtälje. Around 1.5 hours of pure driving time, more with detours to the water.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Österåkers kyrka near Åkersberga, a medieval church with rune stones in the surrounding area – typical of Uppland, home to most of Sweden’s rune stones.
  - Detour to the Ljusteröleden: from Östanå a free Trafikverket ferry crosses to Ljusterö, a quiet archipelago island with swimming spots and walking trails.
  - Norrtälje: the old town on the Norrtäljeån with wooden houses, a riverside path and the Pythagoras industrial museum in an old engine factory.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** On the western edge of Norrtälje is Vigelsjö Camping (Norrtälje Camping), with electricity, toilets and showers, and water and waste disposal. At the Kapellskär ferry port, a good 20 km to the east, there is Kapellskärs Camping – handy if you are crossing to Åland from there. Check the season; many sites close in autumn.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** In Sweden motorhomes may legally stay overnight in public car parks where parking is permitted and no sign prohibits overnight parking or camping. In Norrtälje, spaces near the centre are time-limited; lay-bys on the E18 are an emergency option, but noisy and without facilities.
- **Insider tip for campers:** The E18 between Stockholm and Norrtälje carries many commuters, and around ferry departures at Kapellskär whole convoys of lorries and motorhomes suddenly appear. Travel against the flow before ferry times. You will find larger supermarkets and filling stations with generous access in Åkersberga and Norrtälje; further north the choice thins out.

### Stage 3: Norrtälje to Grisslehamn (via Älmsta) (approx. 50 km)

- **The drive:** Take road 283 north through Roslagen’s woodland and past bays to Älmsta, where a bridge over the Väddö Canal leads to the island of Väddö, then on to Grisslehamn at its northern tip. Two lanes, quiet, a good hour; some crests and bends with limited visibility and plenty of wildlife crossing.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - The Väddö Canal at Älmsta: dug in its present form between 1820 and 1840 so that ships could sail sheltered behind Väddö. Today a destination for paddlers and for walkers along the bank.
  - Grisslehamn: a fishing harbour with red boathouses and a smokehouse, the place from which mail once left across the Sea of Åland for Finland. The Albert Engström house commemorates the illustrator and writer who lived here.
  - Ferry to Åland: from Grisslehamn one shipping company sails to Eckerö on Åland, and the large ferries leave from Kapellskär. Åland and the Turku archipelago are covered in the CampingSpirit guide to the archipelago ring from Turku to Åland.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** On Väddö, a few kilometres east of Älmsta, Väddö Camping (Väddö Havsbad) lies on a bathing bay; in Grisslehamn itself there is Grisslehamns Husvagnscamping, and to the north Singö Camping. According to OpenStreetMap there is a small parking area with electricity at the fishing harbour. Check facilities, season and pitch size in advance in each case; many sites close at the end of August or in September.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** The coast is densely built up with holiday homes, and the shoreline is covered by shore protection (usually 100 metres), which is intended to prevent building and installations. Overnight parking bans are common at harbour and beach car parks. If you want to stay legally without a site, search park4night or Campercontact for municipal or harbour areas that explicitly allow motorhomes, and pay the harbour fee.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Älmsta has a supermarket, filling station and Systembolaget – the last larger supply point before Grisslehamn. Book the ferry to Åland early and state your length and height correctly. Turn off gas bottles during the crossing and read the shipping company’s conditions.

### Stage 4: Grisslehamn to Öregrund (via Hallstavik and Östhammar) (approx. 95 km)

- **The drive:** Back via Älmsta, then west on country roads to coastal road 76 at Hallstavik, the paper-mill town, and north through forest and meadows to Östhammar. The last few kilometres run as a spur road to the coast at Öregrund. Just under two hours; alternating wide road and narrow village through-roads.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Östhammar: a small wooden town with a town charter from the 14th century, low-rise buildings around the market square and a medieval church.
  - Öregrund: a seaside town with wooden houses, a harbour promenade and a bell tower above the water; lively in summer, almost deserted in autumn.
  - Gräsöleden: the free Trafikverket ferry takes you in a few minutes from Öregrund to Gräsö, a long, flat island with fishing villages, rocky shores and white-tailed eagles.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Sunnanö Camping lies by the water on the southern edge of Öregrund; on Gräsö, near the ferry landing, there is Gräsöbadens Familjecamping. Near Östhammar, Klackskärs Camping is by the sea. Electricity, toilets and showers, and waste disposal available; check the season.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** In Öregrund, parking in the centre is time-limited, and staying overnight in the harbour zone is not intended without explicit permission. On Gräsö there are small beach car parks; the rule there is parking only, no camping – watch the signs. Do not drive on private roads or forest tracks – the off-road driving act also applies to motorhomes.
- **Insider tip for campers:** The ferry to Gräsö runs to a timetable and the crossing takes about five minutes; in high summer two ferries are in service, but you still have to wait at peak times. The Trafikinfo Färjerederiet app shows departures and disruptions. Motorhomes join the normal waiting lane; follow the signs at the approach. Fill up and shop in Östhammar and Öregrund beforehand.

### Stage 5: Öregrund to Lövstabruk (via Forsmark) (approx. 60 km)

- **The drive:** Take the 76 north-west through forest to Forsmark and on to Lövstabruk. Well built and quiet, just under an hour. Only briefly at Forsmark: next to the nuclear power station on the coast lies the old bruk with its manor house, pond and white workers’ houses – a good foretaste of the ironworks in the hinterland.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Forsmarks bruk: the small ironworks village with its avenue, manor house and church, a short stroll rather than a long stay.
  - Lövstabruk (Leufsta bruk): perhaps the most beautiful of Uppland’s Walloon ironworks, with a manor house, park, straight rows of red and white workers’ houses and the works stream.
  - The Baroque organ in the bruk church at Lövstabruk, one of the most important historic organs in Sweden; concerts and guided tours seasonally.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Ängskärs HavsCamping lies by the sea about 15 km north-east of Lövstabruk, with electricity and toilets and showers. Lövstabruk itself has places to eat and accommodation; check with the tourist information or on Campercontact beforehand whether there is a motorhome parking area.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** The bruk villages are cultural monuments with private farms and houses; park in visitor car parks during the day, but no camping behaviour. Free camping in the forest is not covered by the right of public access: it applies to tents, not vehicles, and you are usually not allowed to drive on forest and logging roads.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Around Forsmark there are restricted and no-stopping zones at the power station; do not stop or take photos where signs prohibit it. There are hardly any filling stations between Öregrund and Lövstabruk – fill up before you set off.

### Stage 6: Lövstabruk to Uppsala (via Österbybruk and Gamla Uppsala) (approx. 85 km)

- **The drive:** South on country roads through forest, bog and fields to Österbybruk, then through Uppland’s open farmland to Gamla Uppsala on the northern edge of Uppsala. A good hour of pure driving time; the roads are quiet and mostly good.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Österbybruk: manor house, park and a preserved Walloon forge, which explains the technique Walloon immigrants used in the 17th century to refine Dannemora iron.
  - Dannemora gruva a few kilometres further on: the vast open pits of the iron mine that supplied the region’s bruk villages; viewpoints on the edge.
  - Gamla Uppsala: the three great royal mounds from the 6th century, burial ground, museum and church – explored on foot in an hour, most beautiful in the evening light.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** In Uppsala, Fyrishov Stugby & Camping lies on the Fyrisån, with electricity, toilets and showers, water and waste disposal, and good access to the centre on foot or by bike. Check the season and pitch size beforehand.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** In Uppsala itself, parking near the centre is paid and time-limited; staying overnight on streets and in residential car parks is not prohibited where parking is allowed, but rarely quiet. In Gamla Uppsala the visitor car park is intended for day use; watch the signs.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Uppsala has low-emission zones (miljözon) for heavy vehicles; to the best of our knowledge light motorhomes up to 3.5 t are not affected – with heavier vehicles, check with the city. If you want to continue north after this stage: the CampingSpirit guide through Dalarna and Hälsingland to the High Coast starts in Uppsala.

### Stage 7: Uppsala to Skokloster (via Sigtuna) (approx. 85 km)

- **The drive:** Explore Uppsala on foot or by bike in the morning, then head south on country roads through fields to Lake Mälaren and Sigtuna. From there, go around the bays of Lake Mälaren to the Skokloster peninsula; the road is considerably longer than the straight-line distance and uses minor roads, with some narrow sections. A good 1.5 hours in total.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Uppsala: the cathedral, the largest church in Scandinavia, where Carl Linnaeus is buried, and Linnéträdgården with Linnaeus’s home, where he laid out the botanical garden according to his system.
  - Sigtuna: founded around 980 and described as Sweden’s oldest town. Stora gatan with its wooden houses, three stone church ruins, Mariakyrkan and numerous rune stones in the middle of town and along the paths.
  - Skoklosters slott: the Wrangel family’s 17th-century Baroque palace on Lake Mälaren, with an arms collection and the never-completed banqueting hall where the builders’ scaffolding still stands.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Skokloster Camping lies a few kilometres west of the palace on Lake Mälaren, with electricity and toilets and showers; check opening times outside the main season beforehand. Alternatively, stay another night in Uppsala.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Sigtuna’s centre is small and tight; park in the signposted car parks on the edge of town and walk. Stay overnight in visitor car parks only where there are no prohibition signs. The shore of Lake Mälaren is covered by shore protection, and many shoreline areas lie within nature reserves with their own rules.
- **Insider tip for campers:** In Uppsala the bike is worthwhile: the old town around the cathedral and university is unsuitable for motorhomes, but the cycle paths are excellent. The sights at Skokloster open seasonally; outside summer check tour times beforehand.

### Stage 8: Skokloster to Stockholm (on Lake Mälaren) (approx. 75 km)

- **The drive:** Via Bålsta onto the E18 towards Stockholm, then along Lake Mälaren via Kungsängen and Järfälla into the western suburbs. Just under 1.5 hours; from Bålsta the E18 is four-lane and busy in rush hour. If you avoid the inner-city zone, you end up in Bromma or on Lovön and save the congestion tax.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Görvälns slott and nature reserve on the shore of Lake Mälaren in Järfälla, with lakeside paths and views across the bays.
  - Drottningholm: the royal palace with its Baroque garden and palace theatre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, outside the Stockholm charging zone on the island of Lovön.
  - Evening light on Lake Mälaren from the shore at Ängby or Drottningholm, before heading back into city traffic.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Ängby Camping in Bromma lies right on the shore of Lake Mälaren and only a few kilometres from Drottningholm; Bredäng Camping and Flottsbro in the south are alternatives. Motorhome pitches in the city itself, for example on Långholmen or at Tantolunden, are inside the charging zone. Book in summer.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Free camping makes no sense in Stockholm: parking is paid and time-limited almost everywhere, many streets have night-time cleaning days with parking bans, and vehicles are towed away rigorously.
- **Insider tip for campers:** The City of Stockholm is planning a low-emission zone of the strictest class 3 for parts of the city centre, which in practice only electric and certain gas vehicles could enter; the Länsstyrelse has so far overturned the relevant decisions. Before driving into the city centre in your motorhome, check the current status with the City of Stockholm – better still, take the metro or commuter train. For the journey home: you reach Gotland from Nynäshamn south of Stockholm (see the CampingSpirit guide around Gotland and Fårö), and the west coast is covered by the guide through Bohuslän.

## Camping practice & local rules

### Wild camping & overnight parking

- The Swedish right of public access (allemansrätten) allows walking, swimming and camping in a tent for one or two nights away from houses – it does not apply to motorhomes. The off-road driving act prohibits driving a vehicle off-road; private forest and logging roads are often closed by barriers or signs.
- Staying overnight in a motorhome is possible where parking is allowed and no sign prohibits camping or overnight parking; lay-bys usually have a maximum stay of 24 hours. Chairs, an awning or grey water on the ground count as camping behaviour and belong on campsites and motorhome areas. Municipalities and harbours may prohibit camping in certain areas.
- Shore protection applies on the Roslagen coast and on Lake Mälaren, generally 100 metres inland and out to sea. Many islands and shoreline zones are nature reserves with their own rules (such as a ban on vehicles or camping), which are posted on the information boards at the car park. Some bird-protection islands are closed during the breeding season.
- In dry summers the Länsstyrelse Stockholm or Uppsala imposes fire bans (eldningsförbud), which can also cover disposable barbecues; check the current status on the Länsstyrelser websites or in the Krisinformation app.
- Resources: park4night, Campercontact and the motorhome-area directories of Swedish motorhome clubs; the tourist information offices in Norrtälje, Östhammar and Uppsala know local ställplatser.

### Waste disposal & supplies

- Water and waste disposal: campsites and ställplatser usually have fresh water, a grey-water drain and cassette emptying (latrintömning); many sites let through-travellers use the station for a fee. Never empty grey or black water into nature, into drains or into the sea – the Baltic is especially sensitive here.
- Tap water is drinkable everywhere. At harbours and smaller sites, taps are often turned off from September; if you travel in autumn, fill your tanks in Uppsala, Norrtälje or Stockholm.
- Gas: Swedish gasol bottles run on their own deposit systems, German exchange bottles are not swapped, and autogas (LPG) is rare. Arrive with full bottles or use a refillable gas bottle with a suitable adapter, and look up LPG stations in advance.
- Wine, spirits and beer over 3.5 per cent are sold only by Systembolaget, with branches in Åkersberga, Norrtälje, Älmsta, Östhammar, Uppsala and Sigtuna, among other places; closed on Sundays. Card payment is accepted almost everywhere, including at unstaffed fuel pumps in the countryside.

### Vehicle size & traffic rules

- Speed limits: motorhomes up to 3.5 t follow the signs (usually 40–50 km/h in built-up areas, 70–100 km/h on country roads, up to 120 km/h on motorways). Transportstyrelsen specifies separate maximums only for heavy goods vehicles (80 km/h, 90 km/h on motorways and expressways) and buses; for motorhomes over 3.5 t the limit depends on the classification in the registration document – if in doubt, 80 km/h. Combinations with a braked trailer at most 80 km/h. According to the published text, the trailer rule in the Trafikförordning, revised with effect from 1 December 2026, keeps the limit at 80 km/h for car and motorhome combinations; for later trips, check the current status.
- Stockholm congestion tax (trängselskatt): on weekdays during the day for every entry into and exit from the inner-city zone and on the Essingeleden (6:00–18:29), at most 135 kronor per day and vehicle in the high season and 105 kronor in the low season. Cameras record number plates; foreign vehicles also pay, invoicing and payment are handled by the billing partner EPASS24, and late payment incurs a 500-kronor surcharge. Weekends, public holidays, certain days before public holidays and July, except the first five working days, are free. A class 3 low-emission zone for cars and motorhomes is planned in Stockholm but not in force; check the status before you travel.
- Ferries: the yellow Trafikverket ferries (Färjerederiet) – on this route, for example, Vaxholm–Rindö, Östanå–Ljusterö and Öregrund–Gräsö – are free and need no reservation; they run to a timetable or as shuttles. The Trafikinfo Färjerederiet app shows timetables and disruptions. The ferries to Åland from Grisslehamn and Kapellskär are private, charge a fare and must be booked in advance.
- Dipped headlights are compulsory around the clock. Blood alcohol limit 0.2; mobile phone at the wheel hands-free only. Winter tyres are required from 1 December to 31 March in wintry road conditions; stricter requirements apply to vehicles over 3.5 t.
- Wildlife: elk, roe deer and wild boar are common in Roslagen and Uppland, especially at dusk and in autumn. With an elk, brake rather than swerve; report every collision with wildlife on 112 and mark the accident site. Dimensions: to our knowledge width up to 2.6 m, length up to 12 m; low bridges are signposted. Carry a warning triangle.

## CampingSpirit packing & preparation checklist

- Bikes on a secured, lit rear rack – in Uppsala, Sigtuna, Vaxholm and Öregrund you park the camper on the edge and explore the tight centres by bike.
- Smartphone with the Trafikinfo Färjerederiet app and access to the Stockholm congestion tax payment page – ferries and charges are handled digitally.
- A refillable gas bottle with suitable adapters or two full gas bottles – German exchange bottles are not swapped, and autogas is rare in Uppland.
- Binoculars for white-tailed eagles, eider ducks and seals off Grisslehamn, Gräsö and Väddö.
- Water shoes with firm soles for the smooth, often algae-covered granite rocks at the swimming spots on the Roslagen coast.
- Insect repellent and fly screens for June and July by canals, lakes and the bays of Lake Mälaren.

_As of 2026-10. Closures, fees and booking rules change: check official sources before you go._
