Beaches and water with your dog

Roslagen has a long coastline and countless bathing spots, but the rules for dogs on beaches vary. Outside bathing areas and nature reserves, public access applies and you can move freely with your dog. At municipally managed bathing areas, dog bans often apply during the summer season. Marholmen is a concrete example of a facility in Roslagen with a designated dog beach – a good option during summer.

Hiking trails and nature experiences

Vikingaleden is one of the most popular trails for dog owners in the region and runs through varied terrain along the coast. Roslagsleden is another option for longer hikes with the possibility of overnight stays along the way. Nature in Roslagen is generous: forests, meadows, rocky outcrops and cliff coasts offer varied walks in all weather conditions.

Leash requirement in nature reserves

In Roslagen's nature reserves, dogs must be kept on a leash – especially during the period from April to July when ground-nesting birds incubate their eggs and raise their chicks. Borrby nature reserve and similar protected areas have signs with applicable rules at the entrances. Respect the regulations and let nature rest during the breeding season.

A dog-friendly region

Roslagen has an open and welcoming attitude towards dog owners. Many accommodations, cafés and restaurants in the region welcome dogs – Hummelgrunds restaurant in Öregrund is a well-known example with designated dog-friendly seating. With good planning and respect for the rules, you and your dog can enjoy everything Roslagen has to offer, from midsummer's green landscape to autumn's peaceful archipelago.
