Time for a short lake hike? Suggestion: Roskun Valkeinen. You can walk around it in an hour on a beautiful pine forest path. It's actually a walk. But these 3.5 kilometers have much to offer in terms of impressions, geological insights, and the heartwarming, paradise-like harmony that you'll find here in the Älänne Nature Reserve near Rautavaara. As soon as I park the motorhome in the small parking lot, rather unsuitable for vehicles like mine, I can literally feel that this is a very special place, here at Rouskunhiekan uimapaikka (Rouskunhiekka Beach). Again, that absolute silence and the palpable feeling of deep peace. Have you got more? You can find further information about nature and sights to the right and left of this trail in my second hiking book, "Finland on Foot - Hiking between Helsinki and Lapland." There, you'll find over 500 pages of accompanying background information on 1,000 kilometers of hiking through many of Finland's protected and hiking areas. My motto: "Walk - See - Understand."
