Fun in Finland

Finland has plenty of seasonal activities. In summer time you can enjoy fishing, explore our beautiful Keskinen lake by boat, kayak or canoe, go cycling and hiking on the forest trails, pick up berries and mushrooms or play outside games.

Explore the lake Keskinen

NEW!

We have two SUP boards for our guests to enjoy!

Keskinen lake system is more than a dozen kilometres long. Its rocky shores are covered with old forests. Stop by on some inhabitant shore to enjoy fresh blueberries in late Summer and early Fall.

Canoe

Exploring lake by canoe is a fun activity. Each canoe can take two people at a time for a wonderful adventure to the Kerminkoski rapids, or further to the big waters of Keskinen lake.

Kayak

Kayak is a one person light weight boat with a double-bladed paddle. It is fast and can easily manoeuvre on the calm waters of the lake.

Rowing Boat

We have nine boats, each can take up to four adults for an adventure.

Play Games

We have a playfield, and plenty of equipment for other games, like badminton and darts. Board games are available as well: chess, monopoly, and twister.

Wild Berries and Mushrooms

Dozens of edible mushroom species growing in the wild: boletus, milk-caps, chanterelles, and many others. You’ll also find lingonberries, bilberries, cloudberries, raspberries and cranberries. Picking season is from late July to early October. Everyman’s rights allow anyone to pick as many mushrooms and berries as desired, anywhere in Finland, even on private land. You can always ask us advice on best mushroom spots, edible species, and cooking methods.

Grilling

Grilling is a wonderful way to spend time with family and friends. Enjoy the warmth of a fire, great stories, and delicious food. We always have charcoal and other supplies.

There is a big green grill shelter near the lake available for barbecue for free. Big cottage Hirvi has its private grill shelter with a dining area. Small cabins guests can enjoy their private small grills.

We have two traditional eight-sided grill huts called cota. Barbecue is a joy in a cota even during the cold winter months. There are benches inside around the walls of the hut, and you can prepare food on a grate in the middle.

Winter activities

In winter you can hike on the frozen lake, go ice fishing, or go cross-country skiing.
