Åland Archipelago
Two-Wheeled Touring
Flat, comparatively sunny, light traffic: these islands are a cycling paradise. Campsites,
farmstays and bike-friendly inter-island ferries make touring here a breeze.
Baltic Islands
If you love islands you'll love Åland. The main ones are already tranquil, but get out to the
eastern archipelago and you'll virtually have a rock in the Baltic to yourself. Grab a kayak
and you literally will.
Ships & Redoubts
Åland has an intriguing history. As an important strategic point in the Baltic, it has a
couple of major fortresses to explore, plus a grand post office. In the capital, Mariehamn,
the museum-ship
Pommern
speaks of the islands' maritime heritage.
