Onto Joutsijärvi For Night Rowing Or Night Canoeing!
Summer nights on Joutsijärvi (i.e. Swan Lake) are amazing. The phases where light and darkness meet each other can probably be best enjoyed just then, when the nights are at their shortest, around Midsummer, that is.

Represented were Finland, Germany, Italy, Russia, Belorussia, France, Turkey, the Netherlands, Spain, China, Belgium, Poland, and Hungary. There were participants of all ages, from baby to grandfather.
Not Any Usual Route
By canoe, one will more easily escape from the sounds produced by human activities, than by hiking, since the noise of nearby highways is not carried down to the river valley. Only a concert by the birds singing in trees on the bank fills the air.
Vitality Generated by the Silence of Nature
Listening to the silence in the woods just as at the sauna on the shore forms a strongly implicit part of the Finns' nature-close attitude. This can be derived even from folk poems, in which there are several examples of the silence of nature and the healing power of the peace one can experience in nature.
Taking Photos of Nature
A marvellous sunrise on the bank of the lake, fall colours blazing in the trees and fog is sitting on the ground... I wish I had my cam on me! – Does that sound familiar?
River lamprey – the Peculiar Provincial 'Fish' of Satakunta

European beaver
There are some 1000 individuals of European Beaver in Finland, and the majority of them is concentrated in the Noormarkku-Pomarkku region.
Everyman's right
Finland's legal concept of everyman's right gives everyone the chance to enjoy outdoor pursuits, and the freedom of the country's vast forests and fells, and many lakes and rivers, with few restrictions.
Snowshoeing – Fun and Environmentally Friendly
In snowshoes you can hike around in changing weather conditions, in heavy terrain, in an environmentally friendly way, moreover snowshoes are easy to carry, when you already manage in your usual shoes.
Shelters built of snow
When setting off for hiking in winter weather, it is recommended to stop to think about what you can rely on, if weather does get worse, or if your own fitness is not enough to get you quite to the closest hut.
Cross-country Skating
Winter weather, wonderful landscapes, and if you want to get out to admire nature from real close, then cross-country skating may there be for you.
