Norppasoutu on the Lakes Pihlajavesi and Puruvesi 2024

 

Experiences on the Waves of Lake Saimaa

As summer approaches, the call of Lake Saimaa resonates in the ears of rowers! Next summer, the Norppasoutu event will once again conquer the waves of Lake Pihlajavesi and Lake Puruvesi, offering an unforgettable adventure in the heart of nature. We have great outdoor opportunities on the shores of Lake Saimaa, just a stone's throw away from the city. There are accommodation options to suit every taste, so you can choose the style that suits you best for your overnight stay!

Norppasoutu is more than just a rowing event – it's a rowing adventure in the spirit of days gone by, without fancy gadgets, but with movable bench seats. On this excursion, you'll safely and easily get acquainted with traditional church boat rowing and hiking – an unforgettable experience awaits!

Over three days, you'll explore the mazes of islands both on land and by water, with a rowing distance of approximately 25-35 km per day. Along the way, there will be coffee breaks and time for a refreshing swim. As evening falls, the eagerly awaited moments arrive – a delicious dinner and relaxing sauna sessions to conclude each day of rowing.

Grab an oar and join the adventure, because Norppasoutu 2024 promises unforgettable moments on the waves of Lake Saimaa!
