Sininen Polku as a Fishing Destination
Sininen Polku is a beautiful and diverse hiking destination, well-suited for shoreline fishing with a spinning rod and traditional angling with a float. The area is also excellent for kayak fishing. In winter, the area around the Vääränlampi lean-to shelter is a great spot for ice fishing and enjoying a campfire.
Recommended gear includes waterproof shoes, although sneakers are sufficient in some areas. Fishing spots are not marked, but there are well-worn paths that lead to good locations. For multi-day fishing trips, there are good conditions for camping in nature. Hiking trails are marked. The waters are rich in perch and pike.
This destination is very suitable for families with children and for day trips. It’s also easy to visit with a pet.
