🥾 Already an experienced camper?
You’re just as welcome! Come explore a new area, meet fellow outdoor enthusiasts, and enjoy a good evening around the campfire. 🔥
🌊 Where are we going?
This year, our adventure takes us to Kopparnäs-Störsvik, a large coastal outdoor recreation area on the border of Inkoo and Siuntio.
The area has almost 800 hectares of land and more than 15 km of undeveloped coastline, making it a fantastic place to experience the nature of the Finnish coast.
Along the way, we’ll experience a changing landscape of forests, rocky shores and cliffs, open coastal areas, meadows, gravel roads and smaller trails, with beautiful views over the sea and surrounding archipelago.
Kopparnäs is particularly known for its impressive coastal rocks and viewpoints, while Störsvik has older forests and a varied coastline ranging from rocky areas to sandy shores.
It’s the perfect setting for a weekend away from the city. 🌲
🥾 The hike
We plan to hike approximately 12 km each day, so around 24 km over the whole weekend. The terrain will be varied. We’ll be walking on a combination of forest paths and smaller trails, exposed coastal rocks, roads and some off trail sections.
🔥 Camping by the coast
After our day of hiking, we’ll set up camp at a designated camping area by the coast.
The campsite has a fireplace and toilet, and we’ll spend the evening relaxing, preparing food and enjoying the campfire together.
Then it’s time to crawl into our sleeping bags and take part in the most important part of the challenge — sleeping the night outdoors! 🌙
