Pack your lunch and take a hike in Kukkeinen. Kukkeistenpolku offers a beautiful trek across mixed woodlands and mires. The trail has a few fairly steep hills, but for the most part the route is level. Platforms made of wooden slats run across the larger mires. There is lean-to, campfire site and outhouse near the mid-point of the trail. The route is marked with wooden poles. Wetlands make water-proof footwear a must. There are no amenities along the route.
Do you can get so sweat feel the heartbeat on the chest?
There you can also try Puumala’s new workout stairs (112 steps), which are located along the Puumala’s fitness track nearby the centre.
