Experiences in nature are often all you need. A place where you can breathe deep, unwind, and enjoy the changing of the seasons.
You’ll find it all in Åland among the islands and islets, in the silent forests and flowery meadows, at the foot of the mighty sea and on the rocky red granite shores. An experience that costs nothing, requires no reservations and is just as fulfilling no matter what time of year it might be.
Unwind
The forest and nature are inherently calming. You can simply sit down on any tree trunk or cliff and just enjoy the show. Or try forest bathing! The nature experience becomes a bit more active when you follow a nature trail or a longer hiking trail.
Forest yoga helps your body and soul with recovery. Forest yoga is a combination of Japanese forest bathing (shirin yoko) and soft yoga on the body’s terms. In the summer you can also take a boat excursion and try yoga on a barren rocky islet and enjoy a picnic meal.
Peaceful fishing
Åland is a fishing paradise all year round, with excellent catches to be had and beautiful archipelago nature.
The most popular form of fishing is angling for pike with a spinning rod, which is easy to understand. Powerful pike over a metre in length are not uncommon.
In the summer, fishing with spinners and jigs to catch the lively perch, which is ever ready to bite, is a truly enjoyable pastime that suits most people, especially families. Remember to buy a fishing license! The best fishing experiences are always guaranteed by local fishing guides.
