Responsible island traveller
The Rauma archipelago hides a unique and diverse natural environment. Enjoy hiking and walking in nature with respect for nature.
Hiking in the archipelago respecting nature
Enjoy the beautiful archipelago landscape with respect for nature and the special features of the archipelago. Responsible hikers and nature lovers know the etiquette of hiking and the main rules of the area.
1. Respect nature – leave no trace in it. Keep pets on a leash.
2. Favour marked paths and follow rules that apply to different ways of
moving about. Check the areas and times in which access is possibly
restricted at your destination.
3. Only pitch your tent on sites where camping is allowed. Do not
wash the dishes or yourself directly in a water body.
4. Only make fires where it is permitted and use a portable camping
stove if you can. The person lighting a fire is always responsible for
ensuring fire safety and extinguishing it. Do not make fire when the
wildfire warning is in effect. Use the firewood on the campfire site
sparingly.
5. Do not litter: take your rubbish back to an appropriate waste
disposal point. Be prepared to take away everything you brought along
