Strömholmen's activity course

I helped build a large part of the course, so it's extra close to my heart. Most of it is made from recycled materials and logs from the forest. The axe target is a large electrical drum from a construction project on the island. The moose is built from some iron pipes that used to be a fence. The duel is an old table that I covered in wood.

I'm now building the metal fishing track using logs from the forest, stones from the hotel's blasting, timber from an old windbreak, and metal fish from old wastebaskets. Right now, the investment for the new track is just a few screws and some fishing rods.

The bridge over to Rackaren

I chose this spot because it's such a lovely place to spend summer days with the family. On the small dog beach nearby, you're often alone and can fully enjoy it with kids and dogs, and from the beautiful bridge, you can see the fish in the stream from the small plateau.

The Acorn in Villa Hanna's garden

In my job in the property department, I move all over the island and constantly find new favorite spots depending on the weather, wind, and season. But the wooden sculptures you can see all over the island are especially close to my heart. I made them from old tree stumps with a chainsaw whenever I had some spare time. They're much nicer to look at than stumps, if you ask me!

The big rock down by the playground

The whole of Marholmen means a lot to me. When I was little, I often came here with my grandmother and played by the big stone, which felt enormous back then. Grandma lived in Förvaltarbostaden here on the island as a child, and she got this doll as a 7th birthday present from Nils Berg, who owned Marholmen at the time.

Nils Bathhouse

The "little" trip over to the island makes this place something special. I can pull myself across the water on the raft. I especially like this island for the beautiful views of many of Marholmen's great spots. From here, I can see the Bath life at the swimming area and look over to our cozy glamping tents on the island. This is a place that's beautiful no matter the season.

Amanda, conference & activity

Villa Berg 

I have so many wonderful memories at Villa Berg with both colleagues and friends. I've celebrated everything from Midsummer to New Year here – there's no better place to be. Working early mornings and late evenings feels really special at Villa Berg, and if you haven't experienced a sunrise here, you're missing out.

Alexandra, Restaurant

The lakeside of Strandpaviljongen 

This is my favorite spot on the island, all thanks to its location. An Ofyr lunch on the waterside of the Beach Pavilion isn't just a feeling – it's truly an experience! When you've just set everything up and are waiting for guests to arrive, you take a second to look around and out over the trees and the water. It's magical.

The bench on the eastern tip of Strömsholmen

Every day at dawn, this place totally comes alive again! As the sun peeks out with its first rays, both animals and nature wake up in a beautiful burst of colors that changes with our seasons. It's truly the best way to recharge for a brand new day.

Jessica, Finance Department

The Steamboat Jetty

It's certainly not hard to find cozy spots here on the island, but this jetty is absolutely magical with its calm atmosphere and amazing view.

Malin, conference & group booking

The three wooden bridges out towards Strömsholmen

My favorite spot here on the island is the three wooden bridges leading out towards Strömsholmen. On both sides, there are swaying reeds, and you can gaze out over the sea. The colors of nature change with the different seasons, and there's something magical about each one.

The Dog Beach by Rackaren 

The absolute, absolute most fun thing is to go super fast in the electric mule! But otherwise, the dog beach is my favorite spot because I just love to swim. Though I let my human, Amanda, think it's the agility course. Sometimes I escape home to the stable, and then the bridge to the mainland is the best!

Gisela, Conference & Activity

The Boat Orienteering Dock

I've always been fascinated by wooden jetties, and being on this specific one is pure bliss for the soul. When the sun shines, the water sparkles. During a storm, foamy waves roll in. From right here, nature's ever-changing show is just wonderful to watch, no matter the weather or season.

Bibi, Commercial Director

The Merchant's Manor

Historical buildings have always fascinated me, and my imagination just runs wild thinking about all the people who've lived there and what might have happened within their walls over the years. The Merchant's Manor used to be an adult education center, and its beautiful ceiling paintings were created by Elsa Beskow, who lived here on Marholmen in the late 1920s. This is exactly the kind of place that really sparks my imagination. What kind of person was Elsa? What did she feel, think, and get inspired by? If only walls could talk!
