the lumparland trail<br />

Walk through an ever-changing landscape where<br />

fields give way to mountains, forests and country<br />

lanes and every so often a glimpse of the sea. The<br />

trail takes in Lumparland’s church and beach. Start<br />

at Lumparsund to Långnäs or Svinö or vice versa.<br />

Length: approx. 18 km.<br />

hiking in Åland’s<br />

magical island world<br />

Proximity to the sea, shifting scenery and short distances<br />

between attractions make hiking on Åland a pleasure.<br />

Throughout this island kingdom there are nature trails and<br />

hiking paths of varying lengths and type. You will easily find<br />

your own favourites. For those who like history there is for<br />

example Kyrkleden, which stretches between Kastelholm<br />

Castle and Bomarsund’s ruined fortress, partly following old<br />

church paths. The medieval church at Sund is just one of the<br />

interesting sights along the way. Start at Birka Skärgårdsbröd<br />

in Kastelholm towards the tower at Bomarsund or vice versa.<br />

Length: 13 km (approx. 4 hours).<br />
