Welcome to a walk from the Öjbergsmossen bog to a giant’s pot hole and over a devil’s field to the dwarfed pinetree-covered meteorite-crater rim of Söderfjärden
Öjberget is located in Sundom, at a 9 km distance from the centre of Vaasa. The trail is 2,5 km long and the starting point is beside a big information board in Öjberget´s stadium area.
Öjberget is a unique ”mountain landscape” for the Ostrobothnian coast, with its highest point at an elevation of 50 metres. It is a magically rocky landscape with very old dwarfed pine trees, dramatic rocky formations, a giant’s kettle, and an ancient shore area called the Devil’s Field
The most ancient traces of human activity in the area of Vaasa are also found here. The findings originate from the Stone Age about 4,000 years ago.
In the outlook tower(+65 m a.s.l.) on the top of the slalom hill there are info boards about what you see in different directions: the meteorite impact crater Söderfjärden, the Kvarken archipelago, the village of Sundom and the centre of Vaasa.

At the Öjberget winter sports center, you can exercise downhill and cross-country skiing and engage in outdoor activities. There are also a toboggan run for the youngest in the family. In the area there is a barbecue hut where you can grill sausages and a ski lodge where Vaasa Ski Club has a café.
On the mountain there is also the fitness staircase which has 271 steps and is open to everyone. In the summer, the place can be used e.g. for an excursion: by raising the condition on the slope or hiking along a nature trail where the terrain is interesting and varied.
