Places to see

 

When in Kumlinge there are a couple of places you just have to visit:

Monument of the Kumlinge battle, Kumlinge
This stone is on the hill next to the pharmacy. It was risen to commemorate the battle of Kumlinge when in 1808 a few hundred Kumlingers fought off a Russian troop right on the fields beneath the monument.

"Maypoles"
In June Midsummers eve is celebrated all over Åland. Every village has its own distinct maypole. The poles remain in place during all summer, making its decorations wither away along with summer.
