Please announce your participation for the infotour or parts of it as soon as possible to tour AT nuclear-heritage.net[1] or at telephone +358 41 7243254. We need your announcements to plan and prepare food and accommodation as well as the actions and events very urgently!

Bike Tour from Turku to the Infotour Start in Mariehamn

From June 19-21 a bicycle tour will lead from the Finnish harbour city Turku to Mariehamn, the starting point of the Baltic Sea Info Tour on the autonomous Finnish province Åland. Turku is an important harbour for ferry connections between the Finnish mainland and Sweden. It is also the fifth-biggest City in Finland. The bike tour will cross the beautiful Åland archipelago passing a number of small islands and using small ferries to cross the sea between the islands.

Several hundred kilometers north of Turku the Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) Olkiluoto is situated where currently a third reactor is under construction and where the government wishes to see a fourth reactor. Olkiluoto is also the site of the proposed final repository for the high level radioactive waste of the Finnish NPPs.

Bike Tour Schedule

On Saturday June 19 we meet at Kauppatori (main square) in Turku at 10.00 AM and have there some kind of press "conference" and start cycling (40km) at 11.00 AM. Then we will stop in Naantali to have there a short anti-nuclear info happening and continue to Livonsaari. There is eco-village, which will let us camp on their land. They will also tell us about their village.

On Sunday June 20 we continue to Brändö using three ferries and will ride the bikes for about 60km. In Torsholma we will probably camp at the beach. The next day, Monday June 21, we take another ferry to Fasta Åland and ride about 50km to Mariehamn. We will stop on the way at the remains of Bomarsund fortress (with swimming possibilities) and at Kastelholm castle - which is a nice tourist part of the trip.

The Baltic Sea Info Tour will start with events in Mariehamn on Tuesday June 22.

Camping is free, but we have to make reservations for bikes as there are more than 10 bikes coming. For this reason you should announce yourself as soon as possible!
