Danaholmen
Danaholmen , also Danska Liljan , is a small island in the Kattegatt, which belongs to Sweden .
It is located in the Gothenburg archipelago west of Gothenburg in the province of Västra Götalands län and belongs to the municipality of Gothenburg . Danaholmen has an almost triangular, almost heart-shaped base. The maximum dimensions of the uninhabited island are less than 200 meters each. A little further to the east is the island of Klåveskär and the Vasskären archipelago . With these two and Harstensbådan , Danaholmen forms a bird sanctuary . The Gothenburg- Kiel and Gothenburg- Frederikshavn ferry routes pass southeast of Danaholmen .
While the neighboring archipelago islands often appear as pure rock formations, Danaholmen has cliffs as well as gravel and marl boulder . It is therefore overgrown with grass.
Despite its small size, several prehistoric finds have been made on Danaholmen.
Historically, Danaholm is of importance because it is here that the Danaholmen treaty between the Danish and Swedish kings , in the presence of the Norwegian king, was concluded between 1050 and 1056 . In the treaty, borders are said to have been agreed upon and Danaholmen itself was divided into three parts, so that the small island is said to have been a triangle between the kingdoms.
