Vr\u00e5ng\u00f6 is the southernmost of the inhabited islands in the Gothenburg archipelago. The last in a string of islands that in ancient times were called \u00c4lvask\u00e4ren, the islands around the opening of G\u00f6ta\u00e4lv. Today, Vr\u00e5ng\u00f6 is populated by around 400 year-round residents. In the summer, the population triples as summer guests move into their holiday homes. The settlement stretches like a belt across the island between Mittvik, where the ferry docks, and Vr\u00e5ng\u00f6 Harbour.<\/p>

Fishing has always been important to Vr\u00e5ng\u00f6 and even today the island can boast its own fish shop “Fiskeboa”. In the last century, lobster fishing and longline fishing have been most common. Today there are only a few professional fishermen left on the island. Although most year-round residents commute to the city to work, there are several active entrepreneurs on the island. You will find, among other things, a painting company, several construction companies, a grocery store and a couple of restaurant businesses.<\/p>

Vr\u00e5ng\u00f6huset is located in the middle of the island and here the islanders meet for parties and gatherings of various kinds. Vr\u00e5ng\u00f6huset houses, among other things, a preschool, association activities, a conference room and a health center. When it’s time to start school, the children can take the ferry to Dons\u00f6 and then Styrs\u00f6, where there is a school up to the ninth grade.<\/p>

Vr\u00e5ng\u00f6 has a very active associational life, here there is, among other things, a leisure association, village association, sports association and no less than three different churches with active parish life.<\/p>

Vr\u00e5ng\u00f6 is above all known for its beautiful nature and thousands of visitors come here every year. There are countless sandy beaches and rock baths here, and in summer, Vr\u00e5ng\u00f6 is a popular destination for vacationers and sailors who stay overnight in the guest harbor. From Vr\u00e5ng\u00f6 it is not far to scenic Kungs\u00f6 and Torn\u00f6. In Vr\u00e5ng\u00f6 harbour, where Kajkanten is located, it is close to the island’s older archipelago settlement and the old pilot’s lookout on the mountain, which bears witness to the time when pilots were stationed on the island to escort ships into Gothenburg harbour. From the lookout you have a panoramic view of, among other things, the Vinga lighthouse, \u00d6cker\u00f6-islands and the entire southern archipelago.<\/p>
