Opis
Holmön is a vibrant archipelago village and part of one of Sweden's largest marine nature reserves. People have hunted and fished on the islets, and since the 14th century, the island has been continuously inhabited. Since its construction in the 19th century, Holmöns Prästgård has played various important roles in the villagers' lives. In recent years, the parsonage has been a lively community center where association meetings, village lunches, kick-sled competitions, and other events are organized throughout the year.
Staying at the parsonage provides you with a comfortable base during your stay on the island. The house, located within walking distance from the ferry terminal (1.5 kilometers), is fully equipped with showers, toilets, a sauna, and a modern kitchen. You can rent a bicycle at the boat museum and explore the surroundings. During the snow-free season, several day trips are within comfortable cycling distance, and the beautiful hiking trail on Ängesön is a 20-minute bike ride from the house. For those who want to take it even easier, a walk through the beautiful village is more than enough. In winter, you can start your adventure right outside the door, as there are excellent ski tracks starting at the parsonage.
The parsonage's lovely grounds offer great opportunities for activities and large parties or celebrations. Visiting children usually enjoy hunting for the parsonage's wild strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. In the shed out in the yard, guests can enjoy theaters, musicals, movie nights, and other activities during the summer. The house's spacious kitchen is perfect for preparing meals for many or for preparing a picnic basket for day trips in the nature reserve.
Holmöns Prästgård is owned by the village through the company Holmön Community Company, which employs staff to manage the operations. The company's activities are run non-profit, and all revenues are reinvested into activities and efforts for the benefit of the village. Staying here, you thus contribute to preserving a living countryside. Welcome to Holmön!

Wskazówki dojazdu
You can get to Holmön year-round. During the summer, the route Norrfjärden – Byviken is serviced by the Ferry Company's ferry Capella. She departs five times daily in the summer and four times daily the rest of the year.
If the winter ice is thick enough, the hovercraft Vintergatan is put into service. The trip is free whether it goes by ferry or hovercraft.
During the summer, there can often be queues for the ferry as the number of passengers is limited. A tip is to take the earliest morning tour as it usually means shorter queues. Also, remember to be out in good time!
By car
From Umeå, you drive along the E4 north. At Sävar, you turn off and follow the signs towards Norrfjärden/Passenger Boat Holmön. The driving time from Umeå is 30-40 minutes by car, and you park a short walk from the ferry terminal. During peak season, the parking lot quickly becomes crowded, try to park so you do not block traffic. From Norrfjärden, the ferry Capella then takes you further out to Holmön. The journey across the sea takes about 40 minutes.
By bus
The route is serviced by bus line 118/171. If you take the bus from Umeå, choose line 118 which departs from Vasaplan. You can also get on at the University Hospital. In Sävar, you switch to bus line 171. Note that buses do not run to and from all ferry departures. For the current timetable, we refer to the County Traffic's website or to the app Tabussen.nu to easily keep track of the different tours. The bus stop at the ferry terminal is called Norrfjärden (Note: Norrfjärden, Umeå).
