Hiking Day on September 13
Seaweed walk along the shoreline & discovery tour on Tistlarna
Hiking Day is an initiative started by the Swedish Tourist Association. Hiking is one of the most accessible, healthy, and wonderful activities 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 the best thing we know — stepping out onto the hiking trails.
Join us for a seaweed walk along the shoreline of Vrångö with seaweed diver and food creator Karolina Martinson, or discover Tistlarna, the lighthouse location at the very edge of the archipelago south of Vrångö.

Karolina will show you how to sustainably harvest seaweed without disturbing the ecosystems, and you’ll get tips on how to use seaweed and herbs in your cooking. The experience also includes a simple seaweed snack with tasting samples.
