1. 5.0 McAhon Safarit (9 reviews)
   - Absolutely incredible! Highly recommend
   Adrenaline & Extreme Tours • Eco Tours • Sightseeing Tours
   
   
   Went here with my family after Christmas - we were lucky there was snow! Hosts were so welcoming took us round and introduced us to the huskies. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Once acquainting ourselves with the dogs we got the chance to put the harnesses on them. The sledge sits 2 people one behind the other, pulled by 8 huskies and guided by the hosts son (who is a world class husky racing champion!). The sleigh ride went around their farm - awesome track and just so much fun! The whole experience was just amazing and I highly highly highly recommend to anyone. I will definitely be back! After the husky ride we ended off in a cosy hut with a fire to warm us up, was served a warm drink to end off the day. Just perfect! See more..

   Vanha Mylly (The Old Mill) is an interesting little farm to visit in Muurame, next to Jyväskylä. In addition to domestic animals, the farm itself is rich with history. We have rabbits, donkeys, sheep and chickens. You don't have to just look at the animals from afar; petting and interacting with them is encouraged. Inside the atmospheric house you can enjoy coffee, soda etc. and even get some sausages for roasting at our old blacksmith's fireplace. We also sell a variety of animal themed prints (stickers, magnets, cards) as well as delicious eggs from our own chickens, honey from our beehives, wool products and more. See more..

8. 5.0 The Stone Age & Landscape Path (2 reviews)
   - Haikankärki - the very beautiful path on a narrow peninsula with lake views
   Nature & Wildlife Areas • Hiking Trails
   
   
   The walking path from Spa Hotel & Cottages to Haikankärki is called "The Stone Age & Landscape Path". This path is less than a kilometer in one direction, but the route is extremely beautiful. The path is on a very narrow peninsula named Haikanniemi and you see magnificent lake views on both sides. The vanishing point of the peninsula is called Haikankärki. There is a bench there and it is a good place to take a rest. Then you have to walk back the same route. There are some stones and tree roots on the path. So it is a good idea to stop when you take photos. If you walk one kilometer to the other direction from Spa Hotel & Cottages Summassaari, you find a Stone Age village. It is a museum, which tells about people's life 5000 years ago. It is a nice place for the whole family. There are some archaeological sites on the way to Haikankärki, too. We had a long vacation in Western Finland and my teenage son said that Haikankärki was the best place on our vacation. See more..

    - Upea historiallinen näköalapaikka
    Scenic Walking Areas
    
    
    Paikka on pienen kapuamisen takana, joten ei sovi huonojalkaiselle. Näyttäisi siltä että portaiden rakennus on käynnissä. Upea näköala korvaa vaivan. See more..

19. 5.0 Kuokkalan Kirkko (1 review)
    - Palkittu puukirkko, uniikki taideteos
    Churches & Cathedrals
    
    
    2010 valmistunut Kuokkalan kirkko on uniikki puutaideteos hienojen sisärakenteiden johdosta, etenkin moderni alttaritaideteos naulitsee katseen tehokkaasti, samoin luonnon valo tulee sisään hienosti. Ulkopintaa luulisi äkkiseltään puupaanuksi, se on kuitenkin espanjalaista liuskekiveä. 25 metriä korkea kellotorni kätkee sisäänsä 23 kelloa jotka muodostavat carillon soittimen joita voi soittaa myös koskettimistolta. Ehdottomasti vierailun arvoinen kohde varsinkin arkkitehtuurista kiinnostuneille. See more..
