Water sports and leisure activities Finland

It's summer, it's hot and you feel like something more than just another cultural visit? With friends or family, Jukupark promises you relaxation, fun and good fatigue at the end of the day. We find ourselves with 2.5 hectares dedicated to leisure activities with dozens of slides, heated pools and saunas. To take a break between two runs, you can go outside for a break in the sunbathing areas. Snacks and lunch areas are available on site. All this, 3 km from the centre of Turku.

Winter swimming is very popular among Finns: it is said to relax, invigorate and improve the ability to withstand the cold, and to stimulate blood circulation. You can try the experience at the campsite in Rastila. Quite simply, from October to April, a hole is made in the ice of the lake allowing you to swim after and before a good sauna. For the most daring! Don't forget to reserve the sauna to warm up a bit afterwards.

The road passes through lakes, rivers and rapids. In spring, the rapids are quite strong (due to the higher water flow) but become calmer again in summer. The good news is that this route is accessible to all levels of canoeists. The route starts in Petäjävesi, passes through the village of Koskenpää, then Jämsänkoski and Jämsä, and ends on Lake Päijänne. It covers a total distance of 75 km. It can only be done in part.

This adventure agency organizes scuba diving excursions. It is an opportunity to discover, in this sea of low salinity, the numerous wrecks of the archipelago. You can choose between a one-day package with a dive to discover two wrecks. Possibilities also to do two days of diving with two nights in a lodge and breakfast included, or 3, 4, 5, 6 or even 7 days for the most passionate. More information about the wrecks on their website.
