Boating is one of the most popular ways to spend free time in Finland, and I have experienced its relaxing effect countless times. On a summer day, I decided to go boating on Lake Näsijärvi with my friends and enjoy the beautiful scenery and fresh air.
Lake Näsijärvi is the fourth largest lake in Finland, and it's great for sailing or motor boating. We chose a motorboat this time so that we could explore the different parts and bends of the lake freely. We packed a lunch, drinks and sunscreen, as we knew it would be a sunny and warm day.
We set off from Nokia, the southern end of Lake Näsijärvi, and headed towards Pispala and Lake Pyhäjärvi. On the way, we admired the beautiful shores and islets of Lake Näsijärvi, full of summer cottages and boats. We stopped in Heta to enjoy a picnic lunch and a dip in the refreshing lake.
We continued our journey towards the centre of Tampere, where the Tammerkoski river flowing through the city offered great views from our boat. While boating, we heard various stories about Lake Näsijärvi and its history, which made us even more interested in the culture and traditions of the area.
As evening fell, we returned back to Nokia and enjoyed the sunset over the lake. Feeling relaxed and refreshed after the boat trip, we decided on our next excursion on Lake Näsijärvi.
Boating on Lake Näsijärvi was a great way to spend free time with friends and enjoy the beautiful Finnish nature. I warmly recommend to everyone to get out on the water and enjoy the calming power of nature, which provides well-deserved rest and refreshment amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
