It is worth spending leisure time in Keuruu!
You can do a lot of things for free, and even paid activities are affordable.
When we asked the locals in Keuruu what they especially like about their home town, came first the nature and the opportunities it brings, following with the good hobbies and services. So let’s open these a little bit more.

NATURE
NATURE TRAILS AND ROUTES are second to none. Here you can find routes, paths and lean-tos as well as maps. And what can you find when you just leave the backyard into the woods?
SILENCE is somehow so soothing.
LAKES. The center of Keuruu is located on four islands and there are beautiful lakes everywhere. Keurusselkä Lake is probably the most famous of them. You can even travel by boat for example to shop, library, health center, Hesburger restaurant as well as to the harbor café. There are also various accommodation possibilities and restaurants on the shores of Keurusselkä: Hotel Keurusselkä, Hotel Viikinhovi, Pappilan Pidot, Camping Nyyssänniemi as well as Satamakahvila Siipiratas.
The waterways offer many things to do and you can rent a rowing boat from the Keuruu library if you do not own one. We have entrepreneurs who offer tools for rent for a wide range of services.
You can try for example these sports in the lakes:
kayaking
fishing
winter fishing
swimming
jet skiing
Mountain biking and hiking events are also raising their heads in the Keurusseutu area. The MTB events and the Pihlajavesi wilderness days, for example, are a proof of local activity where they proudly present their stories.
