Omenapuumaan Nature Trail – Rauma archipelago

Admittedly, it may have been the wrong day for this hike. The day before, it had rained heavily for 20 hours. And then at night, there were violent gusts of wind, which even prompted me to park my car a little further away from the trees for safety's sake. Today, the result: at the beginning of the hike, the path was flooded, and there was no way around it; you just had to nip through it and hope your shoes held up. Fortunately, this improved as the hike progressed, but instead, I discovered that numerous trees had been uprooted or broken off and were now lying across the trail. That's the price you have to pay if you don't cut down and transport trees, like we do in our country, based solely on the suspicion that they might break. But I'm happy to pay that price. Want more?
