Getabergen & Geta Grottos
Getabergen
A highland in northern Åland, where an observation tower overlooks the northern islands and forest trails lead to caves formed by collapsing granite.
Getabergen sits at the northernmost tip of the main island, about 98 meters above sea level. The summit has an observation tower and the Solturna restaurant, with views over the many rocky islets and the sea to the north. The nature trail beside it is about 2 to 3 km long, passing through pine forest and boulders to reach the Getaberg caves and fissures, formed by the action of glaciers and waves. The trail has considerable ups and downs, so sturdy sneakers are recommended. It is about 35 km from Mariehamn, roughly 40 minutes by car, and makes a good day trip by bicycle.
