Kapellskär - quiet weekend at a campsite

Advertisement

This weekend we drove to Kapellskär, outside Norrtälje. We've set up at Kapellskär's campsite and focused on a quiet weekend with some good food and a good book. Sometimes it is nice to just get out in nature somewhere, without any special plans.

Memories from another time

Being in Kapellskär really brings back memories of another time for me (Helena). When I was a teenager, I used to come here for a theatre camp every summer. For a whole week we stayed in the red hostel in the picture.

There we had intense days of theatre classes and improvisational theatre, and sometimes even dance. In between, of course, there was plenty of mischief. Everything from organised games in the forest to toothpaste on door handles and forbidden love happened out here. So many memories.

Trivial Pursuit

The best thing about going out with the campervan is that you are free from all the stresses of everyday life. After the walk, we played a dramatic game of Trivial Pursuit on Playstation. Then it was time to take out the barbecue and cook the chicken thigh fillets we had brought with us.

By ferry from Kapellskär

For me, Kapellskär is a place where you stay, but for many people Kapellskär is a place where you get on the ferry to continue somewhere else. From here you can go to Åland, among other places, and apparently also to Estonia. But did we continue across the water? No, for us Kapellskär was just a weekend excursion.
