The Kvarken Archipelago in Finland is an UNESCO World Heritage Site. It consists of over 6500 islands, with a geological history that stretches back roughly 2 billion years. If you examine the bedrock you can see different phases; it’s a fascinating place to visit.

The best way to experience the Kvarken Archipelago is with a professional guide. They can take you hiking along trails, sailing on boats, paddling in the water or fishing, all the while teaching you about the archipelago. It is said that this area is the best in the world for pike fishing — maybe you should see if you agree!

Kvarken Archipelago in Finland

The archipelago is full of beautiful sights. You can travel by car to the Svedjehamn in Björköby and see the long, thin moraines as parallel ridges that rise from the water.

Then you can climb the watch tower by the nature trail that starts in Svedjehamn, to view the archipelago from above.

Also, in summer you can get a guided slalom cruise through the moraines and the rocky archipelago, showing you places you wouldn’t and couldn’t see on your own.

There are many nature trails to hike around the Kvarken Archipelago that will allow you to get a good view of it. If you are experience with a canoe you can rent or bring kayaks to reach islands that would be otherwise unavailable.

And you’ll need somewhere to sleep whilst doing all this hiking and exploring — there are guest houses and log cabins to rent all across the islands.
