Hämeenkangas Lean-to Tour – experiences and delights in nature!
On Saturday, September 19, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Lean-to Tour will introduce you to the outdoor trails and rest areas of Hämeenkangas at the Jämijärvi and Kankaanpää activity points.
At the Jämijärvi activity points at the Koivistonvadi cooking shed, Niinikoda and Elämyskoda, local organizations sell small savoury and sweet items.
Activities and catering are organized at the Kankaanpää lean-tos by local organizations and the city.
There is also the opportunity to join the Jämijärvi Society's guided local hiking tour “The Humming of Hämeenkangas” on Saturday 19.09 September at 11 am to Lauhanvuori-Hämeenkangas Geopark.
During the hike, the guide will talk about the geology, cultural history, forest use and ecology of the dry, barren, cottonwood forests. Our guide is Doctor of Philosophy, biologist and nature professor Hannu Raitio, who has a long career in forest sciences. The hike is free. Register for transportation by sending a message to Lelle at 040 7663 663. Always leave a receipt.
Departure point: From the Adventure Hut at 11 a.m. We take a tractor ride to Koivistonvadi and hike back from there. The trip lasts about 3 hours. The distance is about 5 kilometers. Bring a snack, although you can buy snacks at the lean-tos in between. At the same time, the autumn outdoor event Lean-to Tour is taking place in Jämmi, which also includes this trip.
