Lumparland

Spend a half‑day in Lumparland: explore the historic church, the mill museum and the scenic strait, then return to Mariehamn.

Lumparland is a tiny Åland municipality with a handful of sights – a 4‑hour visit covers the church, Sågkvarnen mill and the Lumparsund strait. It is best reached by bus from Mariehamn and offers limited food and lodging, so a day‑trip is sufficient.
