If your vacation needs more than just tan lines, Pälkäne's trekking grounds are well worth a visit. The trendy traveller will challenge themselves to a climb up Kirvunlinna castle hill, Huntila castle hill, or even travel around Laipanmaa, where free "laavu" shelters can be found, for sleeping overnight or just a rest on the way.
