Reconnect with Nature – Serene Bog Bathing Experience


A Serene Bog Bathing Experience is awaiting for you at Peuraneva, a wetland area in Lappajärvi. Get ready for an adventure into the Finnish bog landscape and experience the sensation of walking on the springy mounds of the bog underfoot. Immerse yourself in its mystical atmosphere!

The bog has a different nature in each season. In early spring, when the snow has settled but the ground is still frozen, it’s the perfect time to explore the bog. During the summer, the bog blooms with beautiful wetland flowers, which emit a strong fragrance. In autumn, nature bursts into colors, and the mystical atmosphere of the bog is easy to embrace.

Walking on a bog, with its thousand-year-old peat layers beneath your feet, easily connects you to the shared history of past generations. This trip takes you to the edge of the Peuraneva bog, where we enjoy a bog bath.

A bog bath is a practice of mindful presence, sensory awareness, and relaxation in the forest environment. We lay mats on a bog mound, and lie down. You can take off your shoes and sink your feet into the moist peat. Sharpen your senses to fully appreciate this moment of peace and presence of the pure nature. Pause and relax, ground yourself in this moment.

The trip includes guiding of the bog visit, mats, locally roasted coffee and frozen cranberries with caramel sauce. If necessary, the price also includes the transportation from the meeting point (in Lappajärvi) to Peuraneva. Meeting point is informed upon confirmation (other than company’s address).

We are Krista and Hanna from Lappajärvi – the region known as Impact Crater Lake UNESCO Geopark. We cherish nature’s beauty and diversity, making every day perfect for exploring. Join us in discovering the wonders of our surroundings, where peace and adventure await!
