Description
Spend a few relaxing days in the archipelago! The beautiful and idyllic island of Rävsten offers both forest, cliffs and open fields with grazing animals. Visit the island for the day, or rent a cottage and stay a little longer. The cabins are simple and cozy with water pump and dry toilet outside. To get to Rävsten, you book the pass boat that leaves from Äspskär's jetty. Information on how to book can be found here.
**Hiking
Around the eastern half of the island is the Fox Trail, a nature trail where you can read about the island's birds, flowers and cultural history. The trail is 2.4 km long. At "Stallet" in the cottage village there is an information sign with a map of the Fox Trail. The trail passes the cliffs north of Stångören and Brahamsberget on the eastern side of the island. From here you have a fantastic view of the Åland Sea, which is open as far as the eye can see. If you want to bring something to grill, there are four fireplaces on the island.
**Paddling
Rent a kayak and paddle in the beautiful archipelago around Gräsö. There are both sheltered waters, with lots of islands, and open sea. Rent for a few hours or load the kayak with food, water and a tent for a longer excursion. Both one- and two-man kayaks are available. Paddle, life jacket, canopy and map of the area around Rävsten are included. Keep in mind that there are many bird protection areas.

På Rävsten kan alla njuta av skärgårdsluften! Här är allt från båttransporten, till boende i stuga och en brygga för fiske eller kajakpaddling tillgänglighetsanpassat. Underlaget är bitvis lite knöligt, men Testpatrullen tycker det är väl värt det lilla besväret att åka till ön. Upp till stugorna är det lite bergigt och svagt uppför. Där kan man stanna och ha det gott. Men testpatrullen tog en tur över till tältängen. Den stigen har rötter och lite sten, men det funkade med manuella rullstolar.
