While playing as Norway I noticed a strange island in one of the Swedish controlled provinces (right of Oslo, can't remember it's name now). It has a flag on it. I have tried to land a knight on it (having admiral skills) but I cannot. Is there anything special about it or it's just a landscape element?

Maybe it has a coast guard (an upgrade from admiralty). I read somewhere (I think in the manual) that it prevents other nations from landing on the coast. Try looking in the political view uner advanced buildings, click on coast guard, and see if that province is lit up.

I have checked. The answer is no, the province cannot build coast guard! Tomorrow I will post a image!

"is its name zealand???"

Nope! Zealand is to the south-east! In the province to the right of Oslo, there is an island surrounded by a lake. It has a flag on it and 4 stones surrounding the flag.

Check that the province isn't pagan religion, it could just be a Pagan temple....

It starts as a part of Sweden in the High Middle Age. I thought that the Swedish are all catholic?!

I think it's just an isle with no sense for game (just graphical enlargement) and as it would make no sense to board there, maybe it is disabled. I haven't seen it yet (haven't spent much time in Scandinavia), so post a screenshot if possible

well there is something like that around Denmark or something. Like it's only a small, small island but I never tried landing on it. Probably because the only way to escape is if you have engineering and admiral or you can call him back to the throne room.

that island is a temple. It is not a town. But you can't land there. I play Norway all the time.

The lake i called Vänern, and is a really huge lake.
I think it's an ocean by size-standards, but since it inland we still call it a lake.
Of course, there are many islands in the lake but as said before, the island in the game is probably just a graphical feature.
