Trip to Näkkiniemi

The route to the magnificent nature trails along the shores of Lake Saimaa and to the campsite is marked from the courtyard of Salpalinja Hov.

In Näkkiniemi you can explore the remains of the Ice Age by reading the UNESCO Saimaa Global Geopark signposts. In addition to the trails through beautiful, largely old forests, the trail presents Finnish sustainable forestry with forests of different ages and types. There is also a cosy shelter for baking sausages and taking a break. There are about 12 km of hiking trails.

The site also serves as a stimulating and creative learning environment for schools. Experiencing and doing helps in all aspects of learning. Along the trail there are a variety of activity boards for learners of all ages.
