Korsnäs Map

Moikipää Nature Trail is about 1.7 km of marked path on Moikipää island — Swedish name Molpehällorna — in the outer archipelago off Molpe village in Korsnäs. The island sits in the Kvarken UNESCO World Heritage archipelago on Ostrobothnia’s west coast. For day-to-day facts (signed loop lengths from the nature station, how to arrive by boat, kayak charter links, café and glamping on the island), the City of Korsnäs is the right place to start(1). Luontoon.fi presents the same world-heritage area under Merenkurkku hiking and outdoor(2). Retkiseikkailu lists the trail among routes reachable only by water, again noting about 1, 2, or 3 km circuit options(3). The Kvarken Guide page on Moikipää is the strongest narrative on land uplift joining several low islets, juniper heath toward the north, mixed woodland and reed-fringed inlets, interpretation boards, and the summer 2001 opening of the path toward the west-shore cliffs and the beacon memorial spur(4). Visitors normally begin at Molpehällorna nature station yard; the former coast-guard station serves as a nature station with a lookout on the roof in Metsähallitus material(4). About 0.9 km along the trail you reach Moikipää venelaituri and Moikipää tulentekopaikka — a useful pair if you approach by small craft and want to break at a marked campfire spot before looping onward. The municipality describes the yard as large and level for groups, and notes that the station building and its immediate surroundings suit people with mobility limitations better than rugged island edges(1). Nearby services ashore in Molpe include Strand-Mölle restaurant and a swimming beach at Moikipää, while boat distances of roughly 6–7 km from Bredskär harbour or about 8 km from Strand–Mölle are typical planning figures(1). Korsnäs is Finland’s westernmost mainland municipality; Ostrobothnia provides the wider regional frame.
