A rowing boat is available for guests. Puruvesi is one of Finland's clearest lakes. Its water quality is monitored annually and has been found to meet the quality standards set for well water. In autumn, as the waters cool, visibility can exceed 10 meters. To protect the uniqueness of Puruvesi, the ProPuruvesi association was established.
