Visit the beautiful nature of Kuhmo and learn a lot about nature and history on this easy tour! We will visit 2 different nature trails only 15 minutes away from the center.
Programme description
First we go to Lauttavaara nature trail. Here we see an old forest where we can observe sings of the ice age, plants and perhaps even animals. In the summer time you can pick some berries if you’d like. The trail is 2 kilometers long.
Next we move to the Lentua rapid. This is the largest free rapid in Kainuu area and we can observe it really close from a wooden duckboard. You will learn at the same time some exiting history of using the rapids as transport route for tar. We might see some birds, like white-throated dippers. The walk is around 1,5 kilometers.
We will also go to a laavu shelter next to the rapid to make a fire. We will prepare coffee and a snack to enjoy.
