On the last Saturday of August we celebrate The Nature in Finland as well as spend the Sleep outdoors -night. The best way to celebrate nature is to spend time in the forest. Bring your friends with you or enjoy your own time in the landscapes of Linnansaari National Park.
You can get to Linnansaari by boat or by canoe/ kayak. You can rent a canoe, kayak or a rowing boat from Oravi equipment rental office or hop on to a regular boat that leaves from Oravi harbour. Take a look at the detailed program below.
