You will love it, that is a promise.
Section Finnhamn is like a beautiful flower.
You have a clear central point in the form of the hostel, the restaurant and the convenience store. From this place, there are three loops, each offering something special.
One loop is technical and close to the sea, with lovely viewpoints in the southern end. The second loop is more of a forest trail through meadows and woodland. The third loop is more on forest roads with sections of technical trail and beautiful places to the north, where you will find a working farm.
You can either do the whole section or different parts of it. You can also take advantage of the "Båtluffarleden" and row over to Kolgårdsön, which takes you further to Ingmarsö and Brottö. Everywhere, you will find beautiful places to simply be.
During the summer, there are many boating guests here.
At several points, you can return to the hostel and all its services without completing the entire route. There, you are met with a lovely atmosphere, friendly service and good food.
