Eat well in Luleå archipelago

Take a nice excursion in the Luleå archipelago. Here there are about 30 kilometers of ice roads that take you from the mainland to the islands of Sandön, Junkön, Hindersön, Storbrändön and Långön.

It is a powerful feeling to drive a car on ice roads. After a short drive across Tjuvholmsundet and then about 5 kilometers by car on Luleå archipelago's largest island, Sandön, you can continue on the ice road between Sandön and Junkön island. On Junkön there are nice barbecue spots to visit.

There are 8 kilometers of ice road to Hindersön island, where you can look out over the miles-wide expanses. On Hindersön, the road follows about 5 kilometers before you arrive at Jopikholmen. There are two nice barbeque spots within walking distance.

Please note that both Klubbviken on Sandön and Jopikgården on Hindersön are closed this winter season.

Coffee & waffles at Hindersön

MARCH 1 & 2
