Christianso and Frederickso are the two largest islands in the scenic Ertholomene group which also includes Graesholm. The island, a major habitat of waterfowl, also features a 17th century fortress built by Christian the Fifth. At that time the outpost served as Denmark's outer defensive position relative to Sweden.  Today 120 people, mostly fishermen and their families, inhabit the islands year round with the population swelling with artists and tourists during the summer months.  It is a most pleasant place to visit.
