Saturday Excursion to Himmelskär

Discover Himmelskär – an unspoiled gem on the edge of the Åland Sea. Himmel = Sky or heaven, Skär = rocky islet or skerry so Himmelskär = Heavenly Islet!
Here, tranquility, salty sea breezes, and crystal-clear waters await. It’s the perfect destination for those seeking relaxation, natural beauty, and a touch of adventure in a unique archipelago setting.

Your guide on this journey is our popular captain, Swedish- speaking Göran P. Sjödin, whose knowledge, experience, and captivating stories make the excursion a truly memorable experience.

Magic in the Outer Archipelago

Sea, swimming, and ancient rock carvings

At the northeastern edge of the archipelago, near Håkanskär, lies Himmelskär. During the peak of the fishing industry in the 19th century, the island was home to 28 fishing huts.

We will dock in a sheltered cove and have the opportunity to stroll across the rocky shoreline, experience the unspoiled natural surroundings, and breathe in the fresh sea air. Beyond the island stretches the vast Åland Sea, where ships can be seen in the distance traveling to and from the Gulf of Bothnia. The remains of an old fishing hut are easy to find, while a couple of ancient carvings require a more careful eye to discover.

With its charming and unspoiled environment, Himmelskär is an ideal destination for both relaxation and exploration. There will also be plenty of opportunities to enjoy a refreshing swim.
