Skating route closed today, let the surface of the route freeze

Today the weather is challenging (raining in the morning and snowing in the afternoon, very windy all day). The skating route is being maintained from Oravi today, so that there would be chances to open it tomorrow on Sunday. The route has been plowed today and now we are waiting minus degrees starting in the afternoon so that the surface of the route would freeze properly during the evening and the following night, now there is some water on the ice. THEREFORE, PLEASE DON’T GO TO THE SKATING ROUTE TODAY TO MAKE TRACKS! You can walk from Oravi to Linnansaari along the winter hiking route marked with red sticks and from around noon you can also ski the traditional ski track on the ice to Linnansaari. In Oravi, the equipment rental office and café-shop are open between 9-18 and public sauna in the waterfront sauna by the Oravi canal is between 15-17 (sauna fee 7€/person). The Linnansaari café is not open this Saturday.
