About the place

Living here

Vadsbro is a small locality in Flen municipality in Södermanland county, with 98 inhabitants. The area has an active association life for its size: Vadsbro-Blacksta Scoutkår, a bygdegård and Vadsbro kyrka. Blacksta kyrka is also within a few kilometres. A food shop, school, preschool, health centre and petrol station are not close to the area, so everyday life is built on the car. The surrounding area is older than the country as a whole, with just under one in three over sixty-five and just under a fifth under twenty. Vadsbro suits someone who wants to live in a small place in the countryside with a church, a bygdegård and a scout corps for company. Anyone who needs services nearby should choose a larger town.
