Finland is home of the last wilderness areas in Europe. The big country with a small population and a fantastic nature, offers many ways for incredible adventures. The archipelago between Finland and Sweden, with more than 40.000 islands, is one of the largest archipelago areas in the world.
About 70 % of the country is covered by forest, the area as big as UK or Italy. The rich wild life offers great opportunities for photographers and nature lovers. Pick your own berries and mushrooms while enjoying the clean nature on a hiking trip.
Finland is full of interesting contrasts, such as the four seasons, the Midnight Sun and winter darkness, urban and rural, East and West. And so are our activities: Complete peace in a lonely fishing boat in the middle of a clean sea, or lots of fun in the traditional smoke sauna and in the hot water tubs on the beach.
Herrankukkaro (“Mama’s Pocket”) is a unique destination, located in the Turku archipelago, in Southwest Finland. The lovely island Airismaa can be reached by car, only three hours’ drive from Helsinki and 40 minutes’ drive from Turku.
The resort is built upon an old fishing village. Accommodation, restaurants and even the modern conference facilities have been hidden in the old, cozy cottage buildings. Here you also find the world’s largest smoke sauna with an open air spa. The local, wild food plays an important role: the fresh fish is smoked in the own oven and the guests can prepare their own snacks on open fires.
When you arrive at Herrankukkaro, you step into the old time at- mosphere. You can see, smell and hear the nature all over the place. Peaceful moments or activities with friends, you will find it all at Herrankukkaro!
