Blå Jungfrun, a 1km-long granite island, is known as the ‘Witches’ Mountain’ because, according to tradition, this is where they gather every Easter to meet the devil. The island is a nature reserve with fantastic scenery, gnarled trees, blue hares and bird life, and the curious stone maze Trojeborg .
Between mid-June and August a local launch, M/S Solkust , departs up to five times weekly (usually not Monday and Tuesday) from Brädholmskajen, the quay at the head of the harbour in Oskarshamn, allowing passengers 3½ hours to explore the island. Book online or contact the tourist office.
