Traditional Fishing on Ice

Do you wish to experience winter in a unique way? Traditional fishing on ice with nets is a special, rare activity, a culture slowly disappearing. We offer it in December-March depending on the ice and weather conditions.

This trip takes place on the frozen Baltic Sea, about 1 km from the coastline. We either walk or alternatively ski (slowly) to the destination. The nets (in total some 120 m long…) are placed under the ice! Quite amazing, isn’t it! You will learn how this is done. The nets are checked in 4-5 days interval. If you join the day when the nets are checked, you will learn step-by-step how the nets are pulled out from the icy water and the fish are collected from the nets. If you wish, you can try yourself!

This is the ultimate outdoor experience. There’s something exhilarating about standing on the ice—surrounded by vast, open space that stretches endlessly in every direction. The clarity, the stillness, the freedom to see far away— it’s breathtaking. Not only that. Guess who is observing you? White-tailed Sea Eagle(s), waiting to get some fish!

It’s nature, adventure, and serenity all rolled into one unforgettable moment.
