The hiking route of Paukaneva

By hiking along the duckboards of Paukaneva you get to know the cultural landscape of the plains and the unique flora and fauna of the swamparea.
You can combine the cruise and the hiking along the duckboards: the riverboats take you right next to the hiking route.
It is possible to go on a guided tour and have a packed lunch by a campfire.
The route starts from the turning point of the riverboats and it is nearly 5 kilometres long.
