Escape the city and spend a day in Kurjenrahka National Park, a stunning mix of peaceful bogs, lush forests, and the clear waters of Savojärvi lake. Join us for a walk around Lake Savojärvi, along wooden boardwalks, through untouched nature; breathe in the fresh air, and maybe even spot cranes or swans. The hike will be about 6 km, perfect for enjoying the scenery without rushing. 🌱
Feeling adventurous? You can also take a dip in the clear lake waters! 🏊 If you’d like to swim, don’t forget to bring your swimsuit and a towel.
We have three shifts, so you can pick what suits you best. All departures leave from the square beside Turku Cathedral. The departures are the following:
Shift 1: Starts at 10:00.
Shift 2: Starts at 11:00.
Shift 3: Starts at 12:00.
We will be there at the bus stop waiting for you. Please arrive 15 min before the departure time, as the bus won't wait for you!
For just 15€, you’ll enjoy a refreshing outdoor adventure right on Turku’s doorstep, in a beautiful national park. Bring a backpack, enough water, and your curiosity for the wild.
