You have to think through what you need and bring food and other gear on the boat. On Rings\u00f6 we haven&#039;t seen any regular cars. However, many residents have quad bikes and similar vehicles on the island, which are used, among other things, to transport gear from the boat to the cabin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"676\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rings\u00f6-M\u00e4laren.jpg\" alt=\"Rings\u00f6 i M\u00e4laren\" class=\"wp-image-50638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rings\u00f6-M\u00e4laren.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rings\u00f6-M\u00e4laren-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rings\u00f6-M\u00e4laren-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rings\u00f6-M\u00e4laren-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rings\u00f6-M\u00e4laren-1024x577.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Arrived at Rings\u00f6 in Lake M\u00e4laren.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Framme-pa-Ringso-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-141983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Framme-pa-Ringso-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Framme-pa-Ringso-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Framme-pa-Ringso-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Framme-pa-Ringso-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Framme-pa-Ringso-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Framme-pa-Ringso.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">When you arrive, it&#039;s time to unload your luggage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There was once actually a regular boat service to Rings\u00f6.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting here has not always been quite so difficult. In the summer of 1974, an attempt was made to provide regular boat service from Stockholm to Rings\u00f6 during the weekends. However, the service was short-lived because it became too expensive for the shipping company.<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-stora-banners-i-blogginlagg-2 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-552717732\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-974758363\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/wifi.se\/produkt\/hybrid-traveller-portabel-5g-router-med-backup-batteri-i-over-6-timmar-usb\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"freedom\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/freedom.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"288\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was also around this time that today&#039;s holiday home development began to emerge. The development agreement for Rings\u00f6 was signed in 1967 and the sale of plots began in 1972. But people had lived and farmed on the island long before that. During the 1920s and 1930s, there were farms with cows and horses here, among other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We may not need to write a big history chapter about Rings\u00f6, but it is fascinating to think about when you walk around the quiet island today.<\/p><div class=\"freed-placering-11 freed-entity-placement\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"freed-878682655\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88783\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-3061746362 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-856353729\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/husvagnsbranschen.se\/medlemmar\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"HRF new xl 2026-9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HRF-nya-xl-2026-9-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-1644366069\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/protect.checkpoint.com\/v2\/r02\/___https:\/www.kabe.se\/se\/nyheter\/kabe-roadshow-2026\/___.YzJlOmthYmU6YzpvOmVkZTIyYjJkNTMxZTZkZjM1YWVhOTViM2NkZTIxMzBlOjc6NDMyYTozYTBkNmIzNGEyZDExNmUyY2ZhYWU3MGNkNzExYmE4ZDUzNjRmYzI5NjgwOTNhNTk5MmZlZDQ2ZTVlNTA3NmVkOmg6VDpO\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"oaddtrip Kabe\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/oaddtrip-Kabe-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider3061746362 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-3061746362\" );$freedslider3061746362.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" );

Among other things, three large pike-perch were waiting in the nets, which eventually ended up on the dinner table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2020\/11\/fiska-med-nat-i-malaren\/\">Fishing with nets in Lake M\u00e4laren - a fishing adventure<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lagganat-7-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Fiska med n\u00e4t i M\u00e4laren\" class=\"wp-image-123562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lagganat-7-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lagganat-7-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lagganat-7-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lagganat-7-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lagganat-7-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lagganat-7.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fishing on Rings\u00f6<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Natur_och_djurliv_pa_Ringso\"><\/span>Nature and wildlife on Rings\u00f6<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the things we love about Rings\u00f6 is the nature and wildlife. There is plenty of forest here and because you are on an island, nature always feels close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have seen deer, hares and moose on the island, among other things. The birdlife is also rich, and our friends have seen white-tailed eagles, ravens, kestrels and ospreys, among other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/%C3%84lg-1-1024x577.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\u00e4lg\" class=\"wp-image-91051\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A slightly blurry picture of a moose peeking at me when I was about to pee in the forest...<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are of course also smaller animals. We have photographed both lemon butterflies and bumblebees here, while Lennart and Beata have had much more exciting observations over the years. They have seen beavers, ferrets and pine martens, among other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latter may not sound so dramatic \u2013 until a marten suddenly comes swinging between the trees!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/Citronfj%C3%A4ril-1024x577.jpg.webp\" alt=\"citronfj\u00e4ril\" class=\"wp-image-91049\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/Humla-1-1024x576.jpg.webp\" alt=\"humla\" class=\"wp-image-91050\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/Blommor-5-1024x576.jpg.webp\" alt=\"blommor\" class=\"wp-image-91052\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/Skog-2-1024x576.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91044\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"En_o_vi_garna_atervander_till\"><\/span>An island we would love to return to<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rings\u00f6 may not be a travel destination in the usual sense. There is no regular boat that tourists can hop on and the island lacks the attractions, restaurants and activities that we usually write about here at FREEDOMtravel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ringso-3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-142382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ringso-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ringso-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ringso-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ringso-3-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ringso-3-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ringso-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For us, Rings\u00f6 has become something else. Here we have celebrated midsummer, gone swimming, fished and had dinners with good friends. We have seen a log house grow, carried luggage from the boat, walked along the gravel roads and photographed more sunsets than we can count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And maybe that&#039;s why we like the island so much. Not every place needs a long list of things to do. Sometimes, forest, water, a pier and people you like are enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1201\" height=\"676\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rings\u00f6-brygga.jpg\" alt=\"Rings\u00f6 brygga\" class=\"wp-image-50642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rings\u00f6-brygga.jpg 1201w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rings\u00f6-brygga-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rings\u00f6-brygga-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rings\u00f6-brygga-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rings\u00f6-brygga-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rings\u00f6-brygga-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1201px) 100vw, 1201px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Peter, Lennart and Beata on a jetty by the sea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container faktaruta uagb-block-b856d97f default uagb-is-root-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fakta_om_Ringso\"><\/span>Facts about Rings\u00f6<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> In Lake M\u00e4laren, near Sela\u00f6n and Stallarholmen in Str\u00e4ngn\u00e4s municipality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Size:<\/strong> Just over 200 hectares<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plots:<\/strong> 272 plots distributed across nine areas, some of which are undeveloped<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Distance to Sela Island:<\/strong> Approximately 800 meters<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Getting to Rings\u00f6:<\/strong> By own or private boat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regular boat service:<\/strong> No<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shop on the island:<\/strong> No<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bath:<\/strong> Two landscaped beaches, one in the north and one in the south<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The information about the island&#039;s size, plots, distance to Sela\u00f6n and beaches comes from Rings\u00f6 Community Association.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"freed-1675246857\" class=\"hide-label freed-after-content_2 freed-entity-placement method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><form method=\"post\" id=\"ft_newsletter_subscribe\" action=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2017\/06\/ringso-i-malaren\/\" class=\"ft-newsletter\" data-ajax-url=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php\" data-trp-original-action=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2017\/06\/ringso-i-malaren\/\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"stage\" value=\"subscribe\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prenumerera_pa_vart_nyhetsbrev\"><\/span>Subscribe to our newsletter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"form-field\" data-missing=\"This field is required.\" data-invalid=\"Please enter a valid email address.\">\n<label for=\"ft_newsletter_email\">Email address<\/label>\n<input id=\"ft_newsletter_email\" name=\"ft_newsletter_email\" type=\"email\" value=\"\" placeholder=\"Enter your email address\" aria-required=\"true\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<input class=\"signup button newsletter-meta-button\" type=\"submit\"  name=\"subscribe\" value=\"Subscribe\">\n<div style=\"position: absolute;
