Across the shimmering waters lies Essingesundet, a strait between Stora Essingen and Grondal. Essingesundet has been a vital waterway since the Viking Age. It served as a crucial link between Lake Mälaren and the Baltic Sea, allowing ships to navigate between these important bodies of water. Today, the Grondalsbron bridge arches gracefully over Essingesundet. Its impressive height of 25.2 meters ensures safe passage for sailboats. The strait itself boasts a depth of 14 to 17 meters. On Stora Essingen, the Värdshusbryggan pier faces Essingesundet. This pier has been in continuous use, with only brief interruptions, since the early 1900s. Since 1973, ships from the Strömma Canal Company have docked at Värdshusbryggan. These include the M/S Prins Carl Philip, which travels to and from Drottningholm Palace. Imagine stepping aboard this historic vessel, the gentle rocking of the waves beneath you, as you journey through Essingesundet towards the magnificent palace. Essingesundet is more than just a body of water. It’s a gateway to history, a vital artery of trade and travel, and a scenic wonder that continues to captivate visitors.
