The best MTB trails around Hammarland

Finströms Kyrka: the best-preserved medieval building in Finland, presumably built at the end of the 13th century. The church is particularly interesting for its architecture, its wall paintings, and the two sculptures from the 12th century. Possibly the main church of Åland in the Middle Ages. The current church is mainly from the 15th century. Source: https://book.visitaland.com/de/finstrom-kirche-st-mikaels

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.

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.

A church beautifully embedded in the landscape - a worthwhile detour. There is water behind the church at the toilet

Kastelholm (Swedish: Kastelholms slott, Finnish: Kastelholma) is a medieval castle in Sund, on the Finnish archipelago of Åland. The castle-like castle was built on a small island surrounded by a moat filled with piles. Kastelholm is very important for the history of Åland and is now a tourist attraction. The building, which dates back to the 14th century, is one of the oldest on the island. One wing of the castle houses the Cultural History Museum of the Swedish-speaking Åland Islands. Right next to the castle are the Jan Karlsgården open-air museum and the Vita Björn prison museum. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kastelholm
