Hiking Day – September 13
Seaweed walk along the shore & discovery tour on Tistlarna
Hiking Day is an initiative launched by the Swedish Tourist Association (STF).
Hiking is one of the most accessible, healthy, and enjoyable things you can do! With Hiking Day, we want to encourage you to explore your local area and treat yourself to a refreshing moment outdoors. Hiking Day is a celebration of one of our favorite things – stepping out onto the trails.
Join us for a seaweed walk along the shores of Vrångö with seaweed diver and food creator Karolina Martinson, or set out on an adventure to Tistlarna – the lighthouse island far out in the archipelago south of Vrångö.
Seaweed walk along the shoreline
Join a seaweed walk along the shores of Vrångö with Karolina Martinson. During this two-hour guided walk, you’ll learn more about the shoreline’s pantry and the hidden treasures beneath the surface. Karolina will show you how to harvest seaweed sustainably without disturbing the ecosystem and share tips on how to use seaweed and coastal herbs in your own cooking. The walk also includes a simple seaweed-inspired fika with tasty samples.
