Stone Age Village
On the road to Orrdals Klint near Långbergsöda is a Stone Age walking trail starting from a clearly marked car park. It’s more of a stroll than a hike, taking you past two excavated settlements and then to a fully reconstructed Stone Age Village, with sealskin-covered huts. In summer there are plenty of Neolithic skills to try your hand at; there are even people living Stone Age-like lives there. There is no public transport; you’ll have to make your own way from Kvarnbo.

Sankta Maria Church
Kvarnbo has the large Sankta Maria Church that dates from the 12th century and is probably the oldest church in Finland. There are some wall paintings and sculptures from the 13th century, as well as a fine baptismal font, but most of the paintings are from the Lutheran era, in the 1500s.

Borgboda
East of Kvarnbo, the central village of Saltvik, is the Iron Age fortress of Borgboda. On the main Saltvik bicycle route, it is thought to have been built in the mid-to-late first millennium AD. Some stone outcroppings remain, but otherwise it's just a cow field with a nice view.
