Welcome to enjoy an autumn morning at the Makkarajärvi lean-to! We offer relaxed time together in nature, a little nature activity and the opportunity to fry sausages with your own snacks.
Welcome to spend a nice and relaxed morning in the wonderful nature of Makkarajärvi and Viitastenperänlaavu. This is the perfect opportunity to relax in the middle of nature and get away from the everyday chores. Families will have time together in the fresh autumn air. If you wish, you can also participate in various nature-themed games and a little crafting. If you wish, you can bring your friends, grandparents or even your pet. The terrain around Makkarajärvi is relatively easy to walk, with boardwalks and paths. There is also a slightly longer guided walk to Viitastenperänlaavu, which leaves from Makkarajärvi at around 10:20, where the terrain is a little more challenging with various ups and downs.
You can grill sausages and enjoy a snack at both lean-tos!
Remember to dress according to the weather. A little rain will not affect the activities.
You can arrive at the lean-to on your own. The best way to get to the lean-to is along Makkarajärvenkatu, where there is also a tram stop. The path to the route starts along the cycle path, where there is also an instructor to advise on the path towards Makkarajärvi.
There is limited street parking in the area.
See you at the lean-to!
