Watch the results of a meteorite at Söderfjärden
maria_hz Says: This open field was, according to scientists, created as a result of a meteorite impact some 560 million years ago. The place was named much later though, and the name in Swedish refers to a type of sound. Until the 1700s, this was indeed water-covered. Because of the land...
See a different pace of life on Björkö island
maria_hz Says: If you visit Replot island, you might as well also venture out to Björkö. Björkö and Replot are separated by a small sound, but maybe not for long (the land elevation phenomenon). Björkö, having been rather remote from the mainland until the replot bridge was built in 1997,...
maria_hz Says: If you are going South-North or North-South along E8 north of Vaasa, you can stop by Kvevlax (Fi. Koivulahti) to have a look at the second oldest wooden church in Finland. (The oldest is in Vörå/Vöyri, just a bit north along the same road.) This church is also a so called...
Go back to year 1900 at Stundars
maria_hz Says: The Stundars Open Air museum in Solf (Fi. Sulva) in Korsholm (Fi. Mustasaari) is well worth a visit for anyone interested in experience life as it was back around 1900. The buildings were moved here from other parts of Ostrobothnia in the 1960s and 1970s, to construct a...
Solf Church - close to Stundars
maria_hz Says: The Solf Church is a somewhat typical example of Ostrobothnian wooden churches, even though the colour (tan) is a tad unusual. The building we see today is the second one, the first one was built in 1626. The first church soon became too small despite several extensions, and...
The Replot (Raippaluoto) Bridge
maria_hz Says: Well, if you are not going to Replot (Fi. Raippaluoto) island, then maybe this bridge is a bit far out of your way. But if you are, then do by all means admire the bridge itself and the view when driving across. The bridge was built in 1997 to replace the ferries taking...
Go back to the roots of Korsholm and Vasa
maria_hz Says: Old Vaasa (Sw. Gamla Vasa/Fi. Vanha Vaasa) is the place to visit to see just how the history of Korsholm and Vaasa are intertwined. Old Vaasa is exactly what it says it is. What today is the city of Vaasa was originally established where Old Vaasa is today in 1606, when the...
Fredrikas: Fredrik's food is great
maria_hz Says: When you enter this place, it looks like any other lunch place/café in a Finnish town or village. The furnishing is nothing special, nor is the menu terribly creative, but you get a few standard dishes to choose from (like the Wienerschnitzel) and if you fancy just a coffee...
Berny's Cafe & Restaurant: Don't miss the view off the bridge
Micky8 Says: Here is also a cafe and a kiosk.
Biking from one village to the next
maria_hz Says: Well, the sights may not be off the beaten path, but the mode of transport may take you there ;)Distances in Korsholm are great enough for you to need some sort of transport just to get from one village to another. Bikes offer an excellent means of transport and good...
