Boat transports in the Kvarken archipelago.

Variable and beautiful nature, swamp, old forest and the mythical Björnberget, paths partly made by people and animals under a period of 100 – 200 years and a ribbon of small lakes and rest areas – that`s how to describe Petsmo Vandringsled.

You can walk a distance from 0,6 km up to 12,5 km, depending how you choose your route. The walking trail has two start places and if you choose to walk the whole trail you get to experience all four campfire places, all of them unique in their own way, but all with fantastic views.

The Sommarö Nature Trail is located in the area of the former Sommarö fort, in Södra Vallgrund.

There are two trails in the area. The shorter circular trail (1.5 km/2.4 km) leads through a memorial for the coastal artillery fort to the beach at the camping area. The longer trail leads to the Sommarösund beach in Södra Vallgrund (7 km). Along the longer trail, you will see a geologically fascinating giant’s kettle, as well as cultural landscape (including stone fences).

There are two campfire sites and dry toilets, tables and benches along the Paths. In the yard of the Sommarö guardhouse there is a lean-to shelter (in public use). An information board (including maps) at each end of the trail and five information boards along the trail.
