Färjsundet – port calls

Harbour and history

Färjsundet belongs to the landscape of Åland’s internal waterways. The strait lies between Finström and Saltvik, and its name recalls the crossing of water. The channel, shores and later bridge illustrate how road traffic and waterborne travel have met within the island province.

Culture and local stories

Views of the area are preserved in the Elis Fogde photographic collection. These images place the strait within Åland’s everyday history. Alongside a transport route, they reveal a coastal landscape and a built environment that changed over time.
