Rowing trip with Aurora church boat from Uukuniemi Papinniemi Camping to Kesälahti Piikkeensalmi
The bicycles will be transported to the other shore by van.
Karelian Pyhäjärvi is one of the most beautiful and diverse lakes in Finland. Islands, history, culture, activities, fishermen, hunters, rock paintings, the eastern border, desert villages, Suitsa, and much more can be found on this clear-water lake. The shores have magnificent white sandy beaches. Simply a stunning lake that you could wander around all summer.
The Aurora church boat has the atmosphere
The beautifully gliding, wooden Aurora church boat can accommodate 14 rowers, one ship's dog (no oar, bow seat), and a mate. The trips are relaxed rowing excursions, by no means hard racing. You get to know new people with the same spirit, the aim is to find a common rowing rhythm, group dynamics usually develop in a happy direction with a common goal, fitness improves, and nature thanks you.
Moving from Papinniemi Camping in Uukuniemi to Kesälahti Piikkeensalmi
We meet at Papinniemi Camping in Uukuniemi at the parking place, Papinniementie 178, 59730 Uukuniemi.
We pack the bicycles into the van and sit down on the Aurora church boat, where we row about 10 km to Kesälahti and Piikkeensalmi guest marina, where the van will bring the bicycles. During the rowing tour, we will take breaks if necessary.
Be prepared with suitable clothing, cycling gloves work well in rowing and prevent water strikes if your technique is not quite under control.
Arriving at Kesälahti. The rowing tour takes about an hour to a little over an hour, depending on the speed and breaks. Then pick up your bike from the van. Then you can head to the Kesälahti parish to find shops that offers relief for the hungry and thirsty.
