The islands of Kimitosskären by bicycle
Day 3 Kulla – Kasnäs
Day 3
Kulla – Kasnäs appr. 34 km
Start the day riding via quiet forest roads and beaches to Söderlångvik manor house and then continue on to the end of Kasnäs point. From now on you mostly cycle along private roads. Remember you are not allowed to light a fire under any circumstances and you are a guest of the landowner.
Your trip continues south through Kärra where you will find a cafe and small supermarket. After 2,5 km of riding along this tarmac road turn right onto ölmosvägen. This rather hilly road will take you the 4,5 km to the lovely local beach at Dragsfjärd where you can enjoy a well-earned rest.
Söderlångvik manor house has given permission for you to pass their barrier and follow the ölmos Långsidan beach road. This delightful road follows the Gullkrona coastline. After a short ride along Purunpäävägen turn east towards the manor house where you can hike along the culture trail and visit Amos Andersson’s summerhouse (now a museum dedicated to the artist). You can also enjoy the art exhibitions in the café and visit the handcrafts shop.
Ride south for 2 km towards Kasnäs along Söderlångvikvägen and then turn right onto Kasnäsvägen. Another 5 km will bring you to Svartnäs harbour and the ferry, which runs every 20 minutes. The ride from the ferry to the point is 8 km. You can either stay overnight at the Kasnäs Hotel (tel. 02 521 0100) or at Backas manor house (tel. 02 466 6112) Both offer splendid meals. Don’t forget to visit Blåmusslan nature centre. If you have time you can either take a trip to Bengtskär lighthouse or to Rosala Viking center. The ferry takes you to Högsåra. The road to Svartnäs ferry is a few kilometres before Kasnäs point.
