  • Tour of two national parks: Lauhanvuori and Kauhaneva

    Taikapolku

    The tour of two national parks presents the best bits of the national parks in a variety of ways. The tour can be done entirely by bus and include walking sections of different sizes. The tour can also include a more in-depth introduction to individual destinations. On a longer tour, a coffee or food break by a campfire or indoors keeps the atmosphere high. The Lauhanvuori and Kauhaneva national parks present diverse nature on the borders of South Ostrobothnia and Satakunta, in the Lauhanvuori-Hämeenkangas Geopark area. You can get to know the best destinations of the national parks during one trip, because the distance between the parks is less than 10 kilometers. Kauhaneva's large marsh area opens up in the summer from wooden paths, which can be reached via Pohjankangas. Lauhanvuori's diverse nature offers rugged pine forests, far-reaching views, handsome stone fields and spring streams. The landscapes of Katikankanjoni, located between Kauhaneva and Lauhanvuori, surprise you with their diversity. Each tour is made according to the wishes of the group and the time available - you should reserve 4-10 hours for the tour, depending on the program. Lunch or soot pot coffee can be enjoyed at Katikankanjoni's rest stop, Kauhaneva or Lauhanvuori's campfire sites. A more substantial meal or other catering can also be organized indoors, for example in Lauhansarvi, where there is accommodation, saunas and versatile services. The tour of the two national parks can be organized all year round, but the destinations vary according to the seasons. At its best, the tour is from spring to autumn, outside of the worst weather season. The tour of the two national parks is based on a tour by bus or other means of transport, which can be combined with visits to individual sites or walking sections of different sizes. The tour is planned according to the interests and wishes of the participants. Tell us your wishes and ask for an offer.

  • Tour of Kauhaneva National Park

    Taikapolku

    The Kauhaneva National Park tour presents the most important attractions of the Kauhaneva-Pohjankangas National Park. The beauty of the bog unfolds in all its splendor from the lookout tower, but the scents and atmospheres of the bog are best felt from the meandering long trail. When returning from the tour, you can take the medieval highway, the Kyrönkangas summer road. You can celebrate the trip with a bonfire or snacks enjoyed on the shore of the ponds. The Kauhaneva tour is at its best from spring to late autumn. In addition to the normal day trip, particularly atmospheric trips have been made on the route during summer nights and in the darkness of autumn evenings. The round of Kauhaneva is made on flat stretches and gravel paths, which are suitable for everyone with a normal walking condition. When wet, the skirts can feel slippery in places. Part of the route is barrier-free and part is an easy-to-navigate boardwalk. The length of the basic route is about 5 kilometers. The duration of the trip is 2-3 hours and the difficulty of the route is easy or average. In the winter season, the excursion can be carried out if the road leading to the route is open and the route can be moved safely (the amount of snow and slippery conditions limit it). Excursions to Kauhaneva's landscapes can also be made to look just like your group. State your wishes and ask in more detail.
