Huittinen – Kokemäki
Come and experience the River Trail with its varied terrain, magnificent natural attractions, and delicious services! Over the years, the riverside has seen royalty, pilgrims, and many essential trade goods. At the same time, travellers can explore a variety of interesting periods of our history.
Stage: Huittinen – Kokemäki
The Huittinen – Kokemäki stage is approximately 29 km long, largely consisting of gravel surfaces. As you travel this stage, you’ll immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the countryside and the stunning landscapes of Puujärvi-Isosuo National Park. This part of the River Trail offers beautiful scenery, untouched nature, and the historic charm of riverside villages. The route follows the riverbank for part of the way and skirts the edge of the national park. Much of the stage lacks nearby amenities, so be sure to bring water bottles and snacks as needed. However, delicious treats await at both ends of the stage!
