Little Finland Adventures: Vääksy

Published 10.7.2020

The Little Finland team's adventures series visits places recommended by other families in the Little Finland service. This time we took a detour through Lahti to Vääksy and Pulkkilanharju. The Lahti and Vääksy combination makes for quite a nice day trip, especially when traveling from Southern Finland, and there would be plenty to do for several days.

Vääksy, located in Asikkala, is known for its canal, which connects Lake Päijänne and Lake Vesijärvi. And since our little adventurers had never seen a canal before, it was clear that we had to visit Vääksy. Asikkala is at quite a convenient distance for a day trip from Southern Finland, so the decision to go was easy. We could easily make it here for a day trip and on the way we could also stop in Lahti, at least at the Laune Family Park, which children love.
At this point, it should be noted that the trip was made by car, so without better information I don't dare say how you could get here in any other way. Maybe by train to Lahti and then by connecting service to Vääksy? This possibility should be investigated more carefully.

Little Finland takes you on adventures to interesting places with children. This community map service collects the best tips for family travel in Finland. Suggest a nice playground, a wonderful beach or any other place worth seeing from a child's perspective, and help other families plan trips all around Finland.

But what exactly is Little Finland?

Little Finland is the six-year-old little sister of Little Helsinki. The website's idea is to offer tips and ideas for families for summer vacation trips, cottage getaways or day trips with children. The main focus of the service is the child's perspective: what fun, interesting, exciting or new things would be worth experiencing and what would you recommend to other families traveling with children. Since the Little Helsinki team unfortunately doesn't know nearly all of Finland's gems, we need your help: suggest your family's or friend group's favorite hidden treasures in Finland and save another family's vacation!

Little Finland is built collaboratively by helping others and now we need your valuable expertise. Tips are collected on the map by topic and your task is easy: just write your tip in the TIP FORM (below) and press send. Submitting tips is fast and easy and we don't ask for your name. Let's create a colorful Little Finland map full of adventures across Finland together!
