Finnish Everyman’s Right permits the free collection of anything edible on common land
Cabins, such as the secluded one at Oravankolo on Ruuhilampi, are usually equipped with saunas, so heat it up and soothe your muscles before plunging into the nearest lake or pool. The summer light may deter you from sleeping, so indulge in a spot of evening foraging. The admirable Finnish Everyman’s Right permits the free collection of anything edible on common land, so get hunting for mushrooms or berries if you’re there in late summer. Dangle a worm in the lake and the chances are you’ll pull out a perch or two for your supper.If you choose to overnight near an organised recreation area such as Solvalla, you can rent a canoe and explore the lakeshores. You’ll probably have the water to yourself, especially in the evenings when the day-trippers have headed back to the city. You can paddle right up to the sheer granite overhangs on the far side of Lake Pitkäjärvi, or simply rest in the middle to marvel at the quiet.
