Walk through the most beautiful archipelago in the world from island to island. The route will take you from Turku Cathedral on the Finnish mainland, through Åland – the islands of peace- and on to Sweden. Once in Sweden you have several alternative routes to choose from to reach your final destination of Trondheim in Norway.
St. Olav Waterway is now certified as a European Cultural Route from Turku to Trondheim. The route was officially opened on May 24 2019.

Rania kom i fin pilgrimsstämningen på sin vandring.
“Our hike has come to an end and it’s weird to return to normal life after walking for days, carrying only what you need. It is a mix of feelings; I feel both relief but also a little bit of sadness, I know the trail continues further and that there is a lot more to explore and a lot of lovely people to meet. To see more of Finland has been a wonderful experience, and as a hiker along a trail people really open up to you and are incredibly friendly which I truly appreciate.”
Rania bor när St Olavsleden i Sverige och har tidigare vandrat delar av den. Läs mera på blog del 2 @northboundjourneys på engelska. 🍂
Part two of hiking the St. Olav Waterways in Finland - Grännäs to Korpo
In this post me and Kathrin continue hiking along the St. Olav Waterways in Finland. We go from Grännäs to Korpo and end our journey in a wonderful place.Henriikka vandrade i skärgården på S:t Olofssjöled.
”Meidän reissumme luonne kiteytyy hyvin erään seuraajaan pilke silmäkulmassa jättämään kommenttiin:
’Pitäis kyllä mun mielestä olla jotain kärsimystä pyhiinvaellushommissa. Tää on nyt pahasti luksusloman puolella!’
Tapansa kullakin, eikö? Seuraavaan kertaan, saaristo!”
Vilka fina överraskningar möte hon på vägen? På finska på Aamukahvilla

Pilgrimspass och stämplar är en del av en gammal tradition som lever ännu i dag.
På din pilgrimsfärd upptäcker du många stämplar med Olavs kors, men också unika stämplar med olika helgon och mönster som härstammar från lokalhistoria. Denna stämpel bär Klemets Gårdens bomärke sedan 1600-talet. Du får ditt pilgrimspass stämplat med denna stämpel om du övernattar på Faffas Bed & Breakfast i Korpo.Pilgrims' passports and stamps are part of an old tradition that is still cherished to this day.
During your pilgrimage, you will find many stamps with Olav’s cross, but also unique ones with different Saints or designs emerging from local history. This one is the sign of Klemets Gård from the 17th century. You will find this one on your passport if you stay your night at Faffas Bed & Breakfast in Korpo.
