Varissaari island combines the peace of nature, breathtaking seascapes and the history of the local fortress. Reminiscent of its military history, you can view ship parts and cannons lifted from the wreck of the frigate St. Nikolai, which sank in the naval battles of Svensksund (Ruotsinsalmi) in the late 18th century. In the summertime, m/s Klippan operates an hourly service to the island. It is also possible to agree on other times.
