Please note the following regarding the visit:

• Be prepared to wait for your turn. A huge number of people visits Klovharun during the open house week and queues cannot be avoided especially when the weather is fine. The guided tours have a strict timetable wherefore the queuing system is not applied to these groups. We ask for your understanding and a positive attitude in this respect.
• Only a few people or one family can enter the cottage at the same time.
• It is prohibited to touch any items and pieces of furniture in the cottage.
• The guides coordinate the visits to the sauna.
• When walking around, watch your step for birds’ nests, flowers and other vegetation. Don’t pick anything as a souvenir including rocks. Watch out for ticks.
• Look after your children and teach them to respect nature. Jumping down from the bridge is forbidden. Some cliffs are very steep and can be slippery at times.
• The tiny outhouse on the island is not at the visitors’ disposal. During the open house week there is a small outhouse in Sturjan. In connection with shop visits visitors are also allowed to use the outhouse located behind the village shop (Söderby-Boden village shop, Gamla Söderbyvägen 44, 07390 Storpellinge).
• People visit the island and cottage at their own risk.
