Åland Trail Riders – Mountatine bike Dirt Jump Route in the forrest
Pellas – a shipmaster’s homestead
Västerro is a little paradise by a sea inlet on Herrön, near the southernmost point of Åland. This is the home of Anders Westerberg, a creative fisherman and artisan food producer who brings the essence of the sea into his smokehouse and has a unique way of sharing his love for the ingredients. Here, almost anything can be infused with the flavors of glowing embers and wood chips, and in the farm’s fish restaurant, you can experience fish unlike anything you have ever tasted before.
Amalias Lemonade Factory is Åland’s only—and one of Finland’s few—truly genuine lemonade factories, producing lemonade and other beverages using traditional, artisanal methods and high-quality natural ingredients.
