The ferry should stop first at Östersiden and then at Fiskebäckskil - make sure you get off at Fiskebäcksil. Talk to the ferry attendant - twice a day (in the morning and late afternoon) the Ferry makes a stop at the station which would save you a walk. Also once a day the ferry runs in the opposite direction so make sure you get off at Fiskebäckskil. Once on solid ground, walk past the hotel and follow the path that runs along the water front. The path will make a turn into a forested area and past a tennis court, opening into an empty field. Make a right on the road and follow it to the end to find the station. The walk is about 1 km but not well paved.
