Discover Larsmo

The municipality of Larsmo combines recreation areas in the archipelago with museums, historic buildings, and opportunities for outdoor activities. Bosund, Holm, Eugmo, and the island areas each offer something different. The season and activities you have in mind can help shape your travel plans: Some recreational options are tied to summer or winter, while others focus on cultural history and outdoor activities throughout the municipality.

Archipelago scenery and outdoor activities

Recreational activities in the Larsmo archipelago are available year-round, but the options vary by season. In summer, these include boat trips and visits to sandy beaches in the outer archipelago. In winter, you can go for walks or ski on the ice, or try ice fishing; weather and ice conditions vary. Comparing the options helps you see which activities suit the time of your trip.

The 44-kilometre Larsmo Trail passes through several villages, runs by lakes and streams, and has rest areas. As route conditions and infrastructure can change, check conditions before setting out. The recreation area near Inre Bergskär offers sea views, a barbecue area, and a wind shelter, and is close to the Larsmo fishing harbour. In the archipelago, the Archipelago Council maintains several landing places and fishing huts.

At Olasören, free overnight accommodation is available at Olofsborg. Check the current arrangements before your trip if you plan to use this option.

Köpmanholmen: recreation and seasonal offerings

Köpmanholmen is a publicly accessible recreation area in the municipality of Larsmo. Facilities include a sauna, a bathing beach, jetties, a conference room, and an observation tower. A combined café and restaurant is open from late June to mid-August; confirm seasonal opening times before your trip. Private bookings at the café and restaurant are possible; check availability with the operator.

Taxi boat transport to the island of Köpmanholmen on the m/s Wilma is free of charge; rowing boats are also free to use. As transport and usage terms may change, check them before your trip.

Museums and cultural history

In Bosund, within the municipality, the Bosund Boat, Fishing and Hunting Museum displays traditional Ostrobothnian farm boats, fishing gear, hunting equipment, and other items of Ostrobothnian cultural heritage. At the Bjärgas Museum in Holm, you can see miniature buildings from the 1930s, a village shop from the 1950s, old toys, textiles, and a herb garden. There are also special exhibitions and a souvenir shop; check current opening arrangements before your visit.

The municipality’s architectural history includes Larsmo’s wooden church, completed in 1787 and designed by Jacob Rijf, the Marieholm vicarage, and the old group of buildings at Kvarnbacken. Together, they form a cultural landscape. The restored old stone barn at Kvarnbacken is used for meetings and exhibitions in summer.

On Larsmo Square stands the sculpture Perca navicula by Simon Gripenberg, unveiled in summer 2020. Its composition brings together a perch, symbolising nature, and a Larsmo boat, symbolising culture. On the island of Öuran (Örarna), the outermost outpost of the Larsmo archipelago, the old fishing village offers an authentic impression of history.

Tyynelä Elf Village is located on Västerbyvägen in Eugmo. Visitors are welcomed in July and December; group bookings are possible outside these periods. Confirm the current dates before your trip.

Sports and trails in Holm

The Larsmo Sports Park in Holm includes an adventure playground with opportunities for balancing, climbing, and zip-lining. It also has a disc golf course, completed in autumn 2022, and a skatepark and pump track below Cronhjelmskolan. An outdoor fitness machine was added in November 2024, allowing you to work out your whole body.

The trailheads for the Holm Nature Trail and the Larsmo Nature Trail are both opposite the sports park car park. If you plan to use either trail, check current trail conditions.
