Tips from the Community
These rock formations, often called "stonemen", have been created by humans by putting one stone on top of the other, decreasing its volume every time. They're often used to signal a path.

The panoramic road is a highly recommended tour with lots of sea views without much traffic, which leads via Natö to the Jarsö peninsula. There you can leave your bike and enjoy the Jörso Naturstig on Lilla Björkö, a marked hiking trail that is well worth a visit. https://retkipaikka.fi/jarso-lemlandissa/

Ramsholmen is a deciduous forest area. Deciduous forests were a natural part of the Åland landscape until the 18th century. However, changes in agricultural practices contributed to the overgrowth of most deciduous forest areas during the 19th century. Today, this type of cultural landscape is only maintained in a limited number of areas. The deciduous forest is our most species-rich natural type. During the spring and summer months, the floral splendor is intoxicating. Enjoy a landscape full of wood anemones, cowslips, clipped ash trees, hazel groves, and shore meadows, or simply poke your nose into the greenery and identify orchids, lilies, and other rare plants with the help of the field flora. The abundant occurrence of the strongly fragrant, garlicky wild garlic (Swedish: Ramslök) probably gave this area its name. Every year in July, the hay is harvested in a very unique way. The hay from the meadows and the leaves of the ancient, clipped ash trees are harvested as fodder for the animals. Ramsholmen also boasts considerable birdlife. Seabirds, waders, and other species breed here or forage in the diverse landscape. Torpfjärden, east of Ramsholmen, is one of Åland's most beautiful bird areas.
