リドのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

A lovely section of the SAT trail, winding through the forest. It's recommended to hike the island in a clockwise direction, if you do so the trail is clearly marked with yellow and blue markers.

The Lidö Battery was part of Sweden's coastal defense system during WWII. When constructed it included four cannons protecting the approach to Stockholm. Today, one of these cannons remains.

Disembarking at Lidö jetty, the first thing you notice is the Lidö Värdshus directly in front of you. Featuring an inn and a glass-enclosed restaurant with a view of Lidöfjärden, it makes for an inviting place for refreshments, both before and after taking on the Archipelago Trail. Open between Midsummer and mid-August.

Arholma Nord Archipelago Lodge is in a wonderful site near the water where a wood-fired sauna is located, inviting you to linger. The lodge has a café, serving lunch and breakfast buffet. A range of accommodations are available ranging from rooms with shared facilities to a cozy secluded cottage by the water.

This beautiful beach, north of Bäckviken is a lesser-known spot ideal for a quiet swim or a peaceful rest on the sandy shoreline.

The beautiful sea bay of Riddarviken features several small guest boat jetties within its harbour. If you're spending more time here and would like to get closer to the water, kayaks and canoes can be rented from the Arholma Nord Hostel.

Arholma Battery is strategically located on the northern tip of the island. The cannon was completed in 1968 and intended to protect the Sea of Åland during the Cold War. What you don't see from this vantage point is the (then) top secret facility in the mountain below; capable of housing some 340 Swedish military personnel.
