The name ”Solrutten” translates to The Sunny Route in English. The concept was originally formed in the 1970’s. The operators who developed The Gulf of Bothnia’s sea lane network at that time came up with the name. Today the Sunny Coast Route stretches through 13 municipalities and towns’ sea areas along the west coast of Finland, from Kristiinankapunki in the south to Kokkola in the north.
The routes and marinas are geographically featured according to in which municipality they are situated. As the municipalities and the regional council mediate a lot of information to travelers, we have on our part decided to create our own website based on the municipality division. In this way sailors can easily access information about the municipality they are passing through and thus making information search a lot easier.
The archipelago of Ostrobothnia is shallow and stony. This means that navigation in the region requires a great deal of skill and care. We have decided to create the information about routes and the information given about how to approach the marinas on a basis requested by those skippers who navigate with deeper boats.
On the web page solrutten.fi you find route suggestions and recommended destinations. On the map, you can click on a selected location for more information about the harbor and how to approach it.

The Gåshällan Nature Station is a renovated former coast guard station located on a rocky island far out in the Närpes archipelago. The nature station is now owned by the Forest Administration and leased by Solrutten.
The island, with its rugged but vibrant outer archipelago nature and its rich plant and bird life, is a place that easily captures your heart.
The unique nature is very sensitive to wear and tear. For many years, birds and humans have been able to live in harmony with each other on Gåshällan, and this should naturally continue. The rich breeding bird fauna limits freedom of movement on the island during the breeding season from May 1 to July 15.
On the northern part of the same island, there is a former pilot station, which today serves as a support point for boaters.
The nature station is suitable for boaters, school camps, companies, private individuals, bird watchers, courses, and other types of groups. We recommend day groups of up to 20-25 people and overnight groups of up to about 15 people, for convenience.

Fisheries Management Fee
The fisheries management fee is required if you are 18–69 years of age and will be fishing with lures or traps or crayfishing.
The fisheries management fee entitles you to fish in nearly the entire country using one rod. In some cases, however, anglers will require the permission of the owner of a given water area. Proceeds from the fisheries management fee are used to manage fishing waters and fish stocks as well as monitor fishing activity and provide advice to anglers.
