Guided Nordic Walk in the beautiful islands of the City of Oulu
A walk of two hours takes you from the city to the beautiful 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 sea and river areas close to the city will give you a good sense of the nature 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.
Nordic walking is a total body version of walking that 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.
