The day’s program
Our journey begins from the harbor of Jyväskylä where the boat waits for you. You sail on the second largest lake of our country called Päijänne while our captain is explaining about the islands, capes, and glens. Enjoy, absorb the enchantment and vastness, hear the whispers of the clouds and the patter of the raindrops. For a moment be a part of this swinging/pitching entirety-
You are being received at the pier of Nukula, you are warmly welcome! Let´s get to know each other, drink a cup of refreshing homemade juice, and tell stories for a moment. Let us surrender ourselves to the solid ground and forest. Hike.
There is a campfire at the Log shelter/lean-to where the day´s lunch is served.
After a delicious meal let´s have a siesta, enjoying and breathing
in the courtyard of Nukula.
Our responsible staff members, the summer sheep, are anxiously waiting for your pets. Helmi is the grandma of the flock. Huippu, the lamb of last year with a black and white tip of the tail along with Mini and 0196.
The Forest trail summons us to return to the shore of Päijänne while listening, sensing feeling, and maybe even tasting our surroundings. Let´s warm up the sauna like a Finn!
For us, a sauna is a sacred place where you unwind. On the waves of Päijänne you may cool and refresh. We serve you a grilled sausage and thin pancakes with delicious berry filling, made on the griddle. Fresh spring water and homemade rhubarb juice are served for drinks. Let us exchange stories of our past experiences with water.
A shortcut leads us to the pier where the boat is waiting to take you on another swinging boat ride back to Jyväskylä.
