My Summer Tour of 2012: Day 2 (Repovesi)

During the second day of the trip I entered the national park in the morning, and took the "quickest" hiking route of only 5 kilometers. It was called Ketunlenkki ("The Fox Trail"). It's a popular hiking route for families that still offers some nice places and views to catch, like the Lapinsalmi bridge and Katajavuori hill. The sausages I grilled by the camp fire for lunch also tasted really good. :)





My Summer Tour of 2012: Day 1 (Mustila)

I guess I just HAVE to get these updates finally started again, and I've been planning to do it for three nights now. So here we go!

Last summer the main place I planned to visit was the Repovesi national park in Kouvola/Mäntyharju area.

At the end of July, during the first travel day I visited the Mustila Arboretum. A whole lot of a biology session, and some tall Douglas trees! Later that night I saw the Verla ironworks site (from the outside). I finally managed to get some sleep in my tent in Orivesi camping, reasonably close to the national park entrances.
