A ferry carries you to the Åland Islands, where you follow the Grottstigen Cave Trail, visit Kastelholm Castle and a microbrewery.
Another ferry threads the archipelago to Stockholm for a city tour including City Hall and the Vasa Museum, and a final walk in the Björnö Nature Reserve. The physical rating is low, with about 30 km of walking in total.
