islands in Finland, part of the archipelago of Åland.

middle ages and is now uninhabited.

flock to the island in spring and winter. The island’s unique flora, including
the fragrant orchid and the wall rue, is another reason for its popularity. The
remains of an old windmill can also be found on the island. Signilskär
