Paddling from Siuntion Vanha Pappila to Siuntion Paddling Center

Come and paddle with us to Finland's Amazon, Siuntion River. The water is calm, and it is rarely windy. Enjoy the beautiful weather and the beautiful nature. The nature is protected under Natura 2000, which gives it a distinctive character from many other places in southern Finland. Paddle from Siuntion Vanha Pappila through lake Tjusträsk to Sjundby Castle, where you can taste our ice cream, Sjundby Ice cream, and where you can also enjoy the medieval atmosphere that prevails in the castle. Note that to continue your journey you need to carry your canoe some 50 meters because of the rapids. Then you can continue paddling through lake Vikträsk until you reach Siuntion Paddling Center in the bay, Pikkalan lahti, and the end of your paddling adventure. The route from Siuntion Vanha Pappila to the Paddling Center is about 13km long and it takes between 4 and 5 hours depending on how fast you paddle and how many breaks you take. During the paddling, you can stop and take breaks, eat your road food, swim, and just enjoy being out in nature. Hear the birds singing and the lapping of the water. You can choose between canoe and kayak, (single or double), or why not try a SUP-board. If you are adventurous, you can rent a canoe or kayak overnight and experience the river during the magical summer night. Paddling is best when you do it together with a friend or family. You don’t need to be an expert on paddling to have fun. Paddling is for everyone.
