Yes, you read that correctly. An island. Located within the gardens that belong to the Swedish royal family is an island where dogs can run free. Although its part of their private residence, the gardens are open to the public. The island, also known as Ormholen, is connected to the rest of the park by two bridges. The bridges have gates so the area is completely secure once you’re on the island. Dogs can swim in the water and there is a pavilion that provides shelter from the rain or sun.
