点评:The Turku Archipelago is said to have the most islands of any archipelago on earth, about 20'000. One of the most interesting to visit is the island of Seili (Själö in Swedish), not only for its lovely nature, but also for its interesting history. There are no cars here, so it makes for a great walk of 1,3km from Post Pier to Church Pier, thus from end to the other.
The easiest way to visit the island is by taking a motorboat in Nagu, a trip of about 20 minutes. Arrival is at Post Pier. The walk from here goes past a few farmhouses and meadows with cows. On the way are information boards about plants that grow wild. I was surprised by the many hazel trees.
After 900m one arrives at the island's largest building, now housing the Archipelago Research Institute of the University of Turku. A small museum gives informations about nature, but also tells about the time (till 1962), when in here was located a well known Mental Asylum. Before, from 1619 till 1785, Seili was known as Southern Finland's only leper colony.
In this building - besides the institute and the museum - is now also a restaurant, open only in summer, with a big outdoor area, where lunches in self service are offered. From here one can continue walking for about 200m to the 18th century wooden church, where guided tours are offered (only way to visit it). Not far from here, around Church Pier, is one of the most beautiful parts of Seili. From here one has to go back the same distance to catch the motorboat back to Nagu at Post Pier.
翻译:据说图尔库群岛拥有地球上所有群岛中最多的岛屿,大约有 20,000 个。 Seili 岛(瑞典语为 Själö)是最值得一游的地方,不仅因为它迷人的自然风光,还因为它有趣的历史。这里没有汽车,因此从 Post Pier 到 Church Pier 步行 1.3 公里,从一端走到另一端。
游览该岛最简单的方式是在纳古乘坐摩托艇,行程约 20 分钟。抵达后码头。从这里步行经过几间农舍和养着奶牛的草地。路上有关于野生植物的信息板。我对许多榛树感到惊讶。
900 米后,到达岛上最大的建筑,现在是图尔库大学群岛研究所的所在地。一个小型博物馆提供有关自然的信息,但也讲述了时间(直到 1962 年),当时这里是一个著名的精神病院。之前,从 1619 年到 1785 年,塞利是芬兰南部唯一的麻风病人聚居地。
在这座建筑中——除了研究所和博物馆——现在还有一家餐厅,只在夏季开放,有一个大的户外区域,提供自助午餐。从这里可以继续步行约 200 米到达 18 世纪的木制教堂,那里提供导游服务(唯一的参观方式)。离这里不远的Church Pier周边,是塞里最美的地方之一。从这里必须返回相同的距离才能在 Post 码头搭乘摩托艇返回 Nagu。
