20 Arholma runt  

This round tour starts from Östersjö bridge near Skeppsmyra at the southern part of Björkö or from Simpnäs village. You cross the quite busy channel to Arholma island and then let the wind decide which direction to go.

You can chose right or left turn around Arholma island depending on the wind. On the west side of Arholma there is a little harbour with a shop and café and you can also visit the famous Arholma båk, a nice church and an idyllic youth hostel.

The trip can easily be prolonged one or more days because the archipelago stretches southwards down to Idö with a lot of islands, inlets and straits to discover.
