THE POWER OF WATER
Contact info@karkausmaenkammari.net and book for your group!
The power of water springs from deep within the earth and invites you to join it.
The tour takes you to the shores of magical Lake Valkeisjärvi, where 16 springs keep the water crystal clear. We stop to sense, hear the stories of water and breathe in the peace of nature. Weather permitting and if you wish, you can also experience the power of water in its embrace.
The hike includes snacks appropriate to the clarity of the water - fresh spring water drinks, fresh berries and light, natural snacks.
In the evening, a warm hot tub and sauna provide the perfect relaxation.
Dining is all about the element of water and local ingredients - a meal of local fish, fresh natural herbs and refreshing drinks.
The rustic log house of Karkausmäki Guesthouse offers a restful night's sleep, combining a peaceful atmosphere with modern comfort.

Behind the experience - Three women, one heart.
When you walk through the door of Karkausmäki Guesthouse, you are met by Jenni, the heart of the place and hostess of the inn. She will make sure that you are comfortable and well rested - clean, fresh sheets are waiting for you in bed, the sauna heats up at the right moment, and the atmosphere is just as it should be: warm, unhurried and cosy.
The flavours that delight your senses are created by Marja, the skilful hostess of Pikkupeura Game Restaurant. She prepares her carefully thought-out meals with pure ingredients from the local area - every mouthful carries with it the bounty of nature and a touch of tradition. The food is not just a stomach-filler, but part of the story of the experience.
And when it's time to get out into nature, Marja, the Löytöläntytär, will lead the way. She knows the forest, the swamp, the water and the sky in depth - and most importantly, she knows how to tell their stories. Her experiential and storytelling excursions are not just walks in nature, but deep journeys into the senses, traditions and stopping in the moment.
Together, the three women create an experience where everything has been carefully thought out, but the atmosphere remains genuinely relaxed and natural. When you come here, you don't have to worry about anything - you just breathe, taste, listen and feel.
