Things to see and do Jomala

A site as unlikely as it is magnificent, proof (if proof were needed) of the variety of Åland's island heritage! On one side, a cave (where trolls once lived, according to legend), quickly accessible from the site entrance (but at the price of a few antics). On the other side, a forest and rocky passage worthy of Fontainebleau gives access to a (short) hiking trail, a picnic area and an observation tower offering a beautiful 360° view. A little tricky to find, but well worth the stop and the walk.

In the summer of 1886, the Finnish painter Victor Westerholm (1860-1919) invited artist friends to his house on the Åland Islands. This was the beginning of the "Önningeby Colony", which lasted 30 years. The artists moved to surrounding farms where the omnipresence of nature inspired them. The museum retraces this adventure: lifestyle and works. Contemporary art exhibitions, poetry evenings and music concerts. Café and shop.
