Outdoors along the coast in autumn and winter
Oxelösund’s coastline is just as rewarding in late autumn and winter as in summer, with short distances between parking areas, trails and wind shelters:
- Femöre Nature Reserve & Femörehuvud: Walk the 3.3-kilometre loop across the granite slabs or take the accessible path at Röda stugan down to the seaside barbecue spot. On top of the headland at Femörefortet you can inspect the gun turrets and radar tower up close.
- Jogersö Outdoor Area: Lit running trails in sheltered pine woods, an outdoor gym, beach promenade and the suspension bridges leading along the Sörmland Trail towards Femöre.
- Stjärnholm Sculpture Park: A 1.5-kilometre art walk around the manor and church featuring around thirty sculptures and a woodland meditation labyrinth.
