Harvest Season with Local Delicacies

Did you know Raseborg is a real paradise for lovers of locally produced food? Our city is righteously 
proud of our large number of fresh and unique local food products and the many skillful entrepreneurs behind them. For a foodie the best time to travel to Raseborg is undoubtedly autumn, when our markets are brimming with wonderful harvest products.  

If the timetables of the local market events do not match with your schedule, you can always order products from the local REKO food Facebook groups of either Karis or Ekenäs . The order is made in beforehand on Facebook, and you can pick your purchase from the joint sharing event on Fridays. Handy, don’t you think? By this you will know whose products you are buying and where your money is going, while you simultaneously get to meet the producers! 

Additionally, the Slow Food Festival is arranged for the 14th time this year, and for the first time the event will be held in Billnäs Village. Here you will have the opportunity to discover, taste, and enjoy good, clean, and fairly produced local food!

Raseborg has a broad network of farmers, producers of local food and other entrepreneurs that make unique artisan products. In our region we have, for example, several bakeries, breweries, a distillery, a cheese factory, a dairy and a fermentary. Slow Food Västnyland association has gathered a map on their website of all the places that sell locally produced food in our region.

Although Raseborg’s summer restaurants have started to drift into their winter slumber, a rich variety of cozy restaurants and cafés remain open year-round, ready to welcome you with warmth. Discover them here.

Sports and Outdoor Activities

Is there a better combination than outdoor sports and the refreshing autumn air? In Raseborg, the nature is always just around the corner and in autumn the nature is more beautiful than ever. You can take a walk in old forests, find your way to the shore of a beautiful lake, and fall in love with the calming nature of the archipelago. On top of the wonderful views, many of the nature trails also have historical value. 

For hiking enthusiasts, Västerby Outdoor Recreation Centre is a great option. In the area we recommend hiking around the popular Enchanted Forest Path, that offers both old forests and beautiful lake views. Or why not take a ferry trip to admire the wonderful archipelago scenery of Kopparö nature trail on Skåldö? Even in the historical ironworks villages of Billnäs and Fiskars you can hike in the beautiful, historically interesting trails. You can check out all our region’s nature trails  here. 

For people that feel at home in the saddle of a bike and aren’t afraid of challenges, the mountain biking routes of Fiskars Village Trail Center are the best pick. The center has several routes of different degrees of difficulty, all in magnificent scenery. While biking you get to enjoy the fresh fall air and afterwards you can satisfy your hungry stomach in one of the popular restaurants of Fiskars.

Please note that access to Ramsholmen and Högholmen in Ekenäs is temporarily closed from August 18th to November 30th 2025 due to construction work on the bridge leading to Ramsholmen.

The opportunities for outdoor activities and nature experiences don’t end here. How about going for a horse-riding trip or checking out one of our many disc golf or padel courses? Or how does bouldering in Västerby Outdoor Recreation Centre sound like? For golf enthusiasts Raseborg also offers three excellent golf courses.
