From Laukontori harbour to Sotkanvirta

Sotkanvirta, located behind Nokia, is one of the narrowest points on the Tampere – Hämeenlinna route. It has traditionally been the turning point of the four-hour Pyhäjärvi cruise. On both sides of the Sotkanvirta narrow, you can see the solid coastal rocks. They were placed on the edges of Sotkanvirta in the early years of the 20th century by Russian prisoners of war, during the tsarist era. Sotkanvirta is bordered by Luoto island between Pirkkala and Nokia, which is a 68-hectare nature reserve. On the other side of the Sotkanvirta is the Viinikanniemi campsite. Sotkanvirta is a wonderful experience that will definitely be remembered.
