White summer nights in North Karelia, biking and canoeing.

on track Our holiday offers you a nice mixture of a relaxing and an active holiday, sauna and a good night sleep after canoeing, hiking and biking.
In June the summer has just begun. Everything is green and bloomy. In July and in August it is already possible to pick up berries and mushrooms.
The common things for both tours are swimming, sauna, sleeping well, Karelian kitchen with fish, vegetables, mushrooms and berries.
Just relax and enjoy the Finnish summer and white summer nights. It does not get dark at all….
