Heinävesi East

Route 476 to Joen­suu pass­es through the vil­lages of East­ern Heinävesi. Vihtari also has a train sta­tion. So, you can eas­i­ly access places like Vihtar­i’s nature trail or spend a sheep hol­i­day at Pirteä Päs­si’s place even by pub­lic trans­porta­tion.

The East­ern Heinävesi area has a lot to offer for nature enthu­si­asts. Along your jour­ney, you’ll see the beau­ti­ful Ker­mankos­ki and Ker­ma Canal. You can take a detour for a short nature trail in Vihovuon­tee or enjoy a pleas­ant pic­nic slight­ly off the beat­en path, per­haps at Pilp­pa Canal.

The rapids pro­vide chal­lenges for both kayak­ers and fish­er­men alike. Fish­ing per­mits are con­ve­nient­ly avail­able at the Ker­mankos­ki kiosk dur­ing sum­mer.

Com­fort­able inns offer accom­mo­da­tion, and there’s even a small camp­ground in Ker­ma with kiosk ser­vices. Dur­ing the sum­mer, boaters are served by the guest mari­na and restau­rant at Ker­mankei­das, along with accom­mo­da­tion options.

Ker­mankos­ki Dance stage has recent­ly under­gone sig­nif­i­cant ren­o­va­tions, pro­vid­ing excel­lent facil­i­ties for both dancers and sum­mer the­ater enthu­si­asts to enjoy them­selves.
