Junkön
Junkön is also a large, permanently inhabited island. Several professional fishermen are based here. During the summer, they fish Baltic herring, whitefish and sea trout. In the autumn, they net an endemic species of vendace for its roe - löjrom, the “gold of the sea".
Junkön is characterized by sand and forest. One half of the island is more or less covered with trees, while the other is essentially one large beach. Unfortunately, the sandy half is off-limits, since it is used by the air force for target training. Junkön´s forests have pines that are more than 200 years old.
Attractions include a windmill of unknown age and an old archipelago homestead. The old mill in the interior of the island was probably erected in the late 1700s. The people of Junkön and neighbouring island residents ground their rye and barley flour here.
The village centre is a charming and unique archipelago milieu.
Junkön´s fishing harbour also has a guest harbour with 10 berths, an archipelago museum and also an old boat motor museum, a summer café, two cottages for rent and a sauna with showers. The museum also has an emergency radiotelephone. In summer, you can reach Junkön´s fishing harbour with the tour boats M/S Kungsholm and M/S Laponia
.Guided tours of the island and its attractions can be arranged by the Junköns Skärgårdsturism
