The paddling tours are suitable for everyone who enjoys a relaxed time outdoors in beautiful scenery! And what is even more fasscinating is that paddling is a perfectly sustainable activity. You can either choose our pre-planned excursion package or head out into the water on your own.
By paddling, you can easily access and explore the natural islands of our village, that are Selkäsaari, Vapunsaari and Sikosaari islands. If you want to go a little further, we also suggest a riverside trip to Töhönpuro and the Multipaka fire place. A real wilderness enthousiast goes on an overnight trip to Kuhmo through waterways and villages.
You can rent a canoe in our online store or book at the reception. Our excursion suggestions are as follows:
- Selkäsaari paddling tour 4km
- Lentiira church tour via Vapunsaari and Sikosaari 8km
- Village tour via Piirakkapuoti cafeteria and Kirveskansa church monument 7km
- Töhönpuro and Multipakka on the riverside 8 - 9 km round trip
- Rytäniemi laavu 18 km round trip
- Ränkänsaari hut in Iivantiira 30km
Given measures are rough estimates of the round trip. Check the location and distances before you set off. Retkikartta.fi is a great tool for hikers alike.
Suggested destinations are often natural stages without services. That is why it is especially important that the traveler does not leave any traces of his visit on the terrain. You can bring trash with you to the Lentiira Lomakylä recycling point.
