A day at sea in a small boat












"Adventure" golf

On the east side of Mariehamn we have a new and very nice minigolf course, approved for international tournaments. They also have a very nice restaurant and a bar.




From the harbour on the west side of Mariehamn you can take a walk alongside the rocks and see the ferries arrive at Mariehamn.


The view from this "boardwalk" is amazing.

Views of Nature

Above a picture of the hand dug Lemströms kanal, a channel interconcenting two bays, just east of Mariehamn.

The forrest road above is rather nice, but not representative for the road network on our islands, we have generally very modern and good roads, perfect for biking.

View from the outer archipelago.


Picture taken 500 meters from our home, depicting our home bay Slemmern.The small building to the right is acctually a newly built seafarer's chapel, popular for smaller, informal weddings. At the horizon you can see wind turbines. The wind turbine power plants on our islands produce a significant part of the energy we need.

Nice place for a picnic in the wild.

Mariebad - Baths

In Mariehamn we have a wonderful, light and clean bath, next to one of our beaches. Here are some photos:

















The Mariebad Baths/SPA is on walking distance from our home (approx. 500 meters). It also has it's own beach with free sunbeds and a view over looking the city of Mariehamn.
