World Heritage from above
The unique Kvarken Archipelago is Finland's only Natural World Heritage Site on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Together with Sweden's High Coast, the Kvarken Archipelago is the best place in the world to experience and understand the land uplift phenomenon caused by the last Ice Age.
We travel from Vaasa towards the Kvarken archipelago, Finland’s only natural heritage site on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
We cross Finland’s longest bridge, the Replot Bridge, and visit the World Heritage Gateway visitor center.
The tour continues to Svedjehamn, where we explore the area and Bodbacka old harbour. We walk the nature trail “Bodvattnet runt” during the walk we stop at Bodbacka old harbour and at the Saltkaret lookout tower, offering magnificent views over the unique moraine archipelago, which is proof of the enormous power of the Ice Age in the Kvarken (walking about 3,5-4 kilometres).
Lunch at Café Salteriet which is an old fish saltery.
