Rövarns holme
Rövarns holme is an island belonging to Sweden in the Stockholm archipelago .
It is the smallest of the four islands in the Fjäderholmarna archipelago and belongs to the municipality of Lidingö . Rövarns holme has a base whose shape is reminiscent of a boomerang . The sides have a length of about 60 and 40 meters, with a width of 20 meters. To the south the island opens into a bay.
The uninhabited and undeveloped island is covered with a few bushes and trees. Immediately north of Rövarns holme is the island of Libertas , with which Rövarns holme forms a bird sanctuary. A little further to the west is Ängsholmen .
Known as a thief, Joseph Forsberg (1870–1944) lived in a shed on the island for over thirty years. The island was initially called Lillholmen and is then said to have been called Rövarns holme (German: robber island) with reference to its inhabitants. This name can be found for the island today on maps.
The island has been part of the Royal National City Park since 1995 .
Immediately south of the eastern part of the island lie two wrecks of sunken ships. The eastern of the two wrecks is 22.5 meters long and 6.4 meters wide. It is located at a depth of 10 meters. Just to the west of this is the remains of a wooden ship with a slope of 65 ° at a depth of up to 10 meters. The stern of the ship protruded above the surface of the water, at least in the 1990s.
