Pälkäne is the most trendy family place in the country - here's the proof!
Trendy holidaymakers are heading out of the big cities this summer, and want to see a lot of things in one go, moving from one place to another and combining different experiences. According to Lonely Planet, communality and family tours are increasing. Different generations travelling together is becoming trendy too, strengthening family ties and creating shared memories. In addition to the core family, grandparents, uncles & aunties and cousins are also being included in many trips.
There is plenty to do in Pälkäne's child-friendly holiday areas, and it's also in close proximity to Tampere, Valkeakoski and Hämeenlinna. Everywhere is close, so before anyone can ask "are we there yet", your car will already be at the Niitty-Seppälä strawberry farm. Once the car doors are open, the kids will busy themselves exploring the labyrinth maze, the troll cave and the various fluffy animals in the petting zoo. This is a popular destination for visitors and locals alike, and, if you have time, take the kids to the self-picking strawberry area, or just buy a punnet and nibble them on the way home!
Travel to Pälkäne and maximise your fun holiday!
The most important thing about a holiday is the escape from everyday life. The summer theatre at Sappee and Aitoo Festival are well established summer favourites. A great family getaway in an idyllic rural setting is a pleasurable experience. The curiously towering birds at the Syrjynen Ostrich Farm will surely get everyone talking and chuckling along watching their odd behavior. As Asine said on her blog last summer, she cannot be quite sure who has come to see who - see more about her experience in Pälkäne, and that of the other bloggers, here.
Even with a small budget, a good attitude and penty of imagination will ensure you travel far. Start the planning at home using all the help inside these Visit Pälkäne pages.
Kids in the labyrinth, grandparents on a village walk and you enjoying a wine tasting...
Great tastes and guaranteed home cooking at its best can be found at the Kostian Kievari tavern, where, as detailed in her blog, Sari fed her family. Children will also have fun at the Suttinen strawberry farm, where they will have a great adventure in the tall cornfield labyrinth. The grandparents can then go for a leisurely guided walk in Laitikkala village's landscape with Huwitus Outdoor, while the parents might enjoy a trip to the Rönnvik vineyard, and maybe sample some of their fine offerings!
The Pälkäne area has many high-quality beaches, so swim suits are worth bringing along! Pakanranta, Kankahuve in Aitoo and the village beach in Luopioinen, have great play areas, slides and beach volleyball courts. Kankahuve even has its own outdoor grill area, if you want to get yourself a BBQ going. And, at the end of a memorable day, the refreshing lake water will wash away the stress, ready for what tomorrow brings!
