Guided Nordic Walk in the wintry islands of the City of Oulu

Transfer from the wharf by bus. Starting point for the walk is by the Oulu City Hall. A walk of two hours takes you from the city to the wintry and fascinating islands of Pikisaari, Linnasaari and Hupisaaret. During the walk you can admire some of the old wooden architecture of Pikisaari and the newer architecture of Alvar Aalto. The fascinating icy sea and river areas close to the city will give you a good sense of the winter wonderland and fresh air of our city. Linnasaari still has some remains of our former castles to see and Hupisaaret will show you the perfect combination of nature and city living together in the harmony of winter.

Nordic walking is a full body version of traditional walking and can be enjoyed both by non-athletes as a health-promoting physical activity, and by athletes as a sport. The activity is performed with specially designed walking poles similar to ski poles. Guide will give good instructions for everyone to enjoy this wintry activity the Finns are known to enjoy very much!
