    • We will travel to Herrankukkaro in the heart of the archipelago by boat on Wednesday afternoon. Here we will enjoy the nature, the smoke sauna and the heated outdoor baths (bring your bathing suit!). Dinner will be served later in the evening based on ingredients from nature according to the season, availability and success of the catch​.
    • Herrankukkaro is a meeting and recreation place that has been built around an old fisherman’s homestead in the Turku archipelago. Herrankukkaro has four different smoke saunas, including the world’s largest and smallest smoke sauna. ​

  • There will be opportunity to vist Kuhankuono hiking routes on Friday afternoon (depending on interest and eventually for en extra fee)
    • The Lake Savojärvi trail is the most popular route in the network. It is located almost entirely within Kurjenrahka National Park and, as its name suggests, it goes around Lake Savojärvi, in parts right along the shore and sometimes further away. The variety of marsh types to be found along this 6 km route is amazing, and the marsh sections have duckboards throughout. Along the way, the route also takes in gravel ridges shaped by the ice age and large islands populated by dark spruces in the middle of the marsh. There are hardly any elevation differences on the Lake Savojärvi trail, and it is suitable for walking in jogging shoes almost all year round as long as the ground is not frozen The route can be hiked in two hours, but it can easily take three hours if some extra time is taken to admire the scenery.​
