Kobba Klintar, Åland, Finland - Suomi

When you are on the ferry crossing the Baltic Sea, there is one particular object that tells you that you will soon be in Mariehamn. On the first islets that catch your attention, one of the very first glimpses of land, there is a house and a small pyramid. What you see is Kobba Klintar, an old station for maritime pilots. They stayed on the tiny islet in order to assist incoming traffic.

Today you do not find any pilots here, the boats and ferries are able to navigate on their own. They all pass by. Instead, Kobba Klintar is a small and cozy guest harbor as well as a small cafe. On a nice summer day, this is a perfect spot to enjoy the Åland archipelago. You are not only able to see the islands that make up the furthest end of the Åland islands, but you also have a view out over the Baltic Sea.
