Stage 2 of the Sea Eagle Trail takes you to the Särkisalo maritime islands of Salo, such as Isoluoto, Ulkoluoto and Pettu, and relaxing archipelago life.

On the way from Ulkoluoto to Dalsbruk ironworks village, you will be travelling along relatively sheltered routes past the archipelago off the Västanfjärd village coast. As you approach Dalsbruk, you will already be able to see old historical wooden houses lining the village shoreline, with modern blocks of flats rising behind them, and the profile of a factory and its tall smokestacks.

On the eighth stage of the Sea Eagle Trail, boaters make their way from Eknäs in Kimitoön back to Vuohensaari island in Salo.

The Sea Eagle Trail starts at Vuohensaari, just outside the city of centre of Salo, and takes boat and paddler tourers to interesting nature sites and ironworks villages. The first stage ends in Mathildedal’s artesan and ironworks village near Teijo National Park.

Experience the idyllic villages on the southwest coast and the beautiful landscapes of the Archipelago and Teijo National Parks. The waterway around Finland’s largest maritime island, Kimitoön, is located within the three municipalities of Salo, Kimitoön and Pargas. The Sea Eagle Trail can be done by motorboat and sailboat as well as kayaking or stand up paddle boarding or even rowing. The “sea eagle” (i.e. white-tailed eagle) is the emblem of the Archipelago National Park - come to the eagle’s territory and experience the Archipelago Sea, one of Finland's national landscapes.

This stage passes through the northeast corner of the Archipelago National Park. Even though there are few commercial services along the route, the landscapes are spectacular.

The Loimijoki paddling route is a diverse, intriguing experience. The route flows along narrow streams of headwater rivers in a wilderness atmosphere to idyllic, historical villages and the low-lying rural landscapes of the River Loimijoki region.  

The Sea Eagle Trail continues from the island of Högland to the northeast towards Peimari bay. The trail follows the fairway, which runs around Santasaari island and curves towards the Rungonsalmi bridge linking Kimitoön and Sauvo municipalities. Located approximately one kilometre before the bridge on the Kimito side, the Eknäs Holiday Village is the last stop on this stage.

Set out from the west side of the Kasnäs headland to the north. The trail now runs primarily inside the Archipelago National Park. Experience the unique traditional landscapes and magnificent sandy beaches of the islands in the national park. Hike the nature trails and visit idyllic villages.
