Archipelago National Park
A visit to the Archipelago National Park is an encounter with the sea.
On the surface colonies of grey and ringed seals laze on the sunny sandbanks. Moose and small rodents roam the windswept island forests. And once in a while the white tailed eagle, the pride and emblem of the archipelago, circles in the sky on the hunt for prey.
The PAN Parks Wilderness area in Archipelago, is the first unique example of a marine wilderness. This is the only continuous marine zone in the Baltic Sea free of fishing. Strict rules of wilderness protection exclude visitors from this part but other areas of Archipelago NP - accessible if respecting certain rules - provide similar experiences. Sea kayaking is a good choice to explore this very unique marine ecosystem.
