Snackö is the southern ferry port and access to Kumlinge. From the southern port of Kumlingen (Snäckö) take the ferry m/s Ejdern 1-2 times a day to the port of Långnäs in the municipality of Lumparland. The trip takes 1 hour and 45 minutes. There is a fee. Mariehamn is then about 30 minutes by car from Långnäs. You can also take the bus. Note: Some ferry connections only run between Snäckö-Överö (Föglö), from where you have to drive 17 km to the port of Degerby and from there take the ferry m/s Skarven to the main island of Åland. The ferry to Seglinge also leaves from here, duration 7 minutes. It runs as needed, there are certain breaks in the timetable. Tip: Worthwhile excursion destinations in Kumlinge are the Kumlinge church with medieval wall paintings, the local pharmacy and the Hermas farm in Enklinge. If you are looking for an exciting archipelago adventure, you should rent a tour boat with a guide. Otherwise, you can enjoy the view from the old Bärö maritime surveillance station, take the cable ferry to Seglinge or continue your archipelago trip from Snäckö towards the south. https://saaristolautat.fi/

Vårdö's St. Matthias Chapel is located on the old post road, so it is clear that the church's history goes back to the Middle Ages. The chapel is disproportionate in its proportions: its narrow tower has a ceiling that is far too large. In 1804, it was ordered that the church panels be rebuilt in stone according to Tempelmann's drawings, but something went wrong and the result was disproportionate. However, the parish considered the new changes too expensive.

At the end of August you have the campsite all to yourself 😄

Actually, the hike on the Ordalsklint is only possible unofficially, because the mountain is probably privately owned. In any case, the tour has disappeared from all official tourist maps. In this respect, the path is not always easy to find. It's great fun though and the old markings are still there. Thank you for the track here at Komod. By the way, the other way round is nicer, the summit storm is wonderfully delayed.

Nice and cheap camping with tent spots on grass and/or at the shore. There is also a great swimming spot, bungalows, toilets, kitchen, sauna, a kiosk and a restaurant (open until 7pm!).
