This program is part of Oulu 2026 -European Capital of Culture.

Kainuu is a tar region, the land of black gold. Tar has been rowed from Sotkamo to Oulu. The peak years were at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Tar has traditionally been used in boats and ski bases. Today tar is also found in drinks, ice creams, sweets and as a tar syrup to season fish and meat.

This food walking tour smells and tastes like tar, but not too much. It stars at Vuokatti Winery in Kainuuntie 15, where we enjoyed a small tar-flavored appetizer with a welcome drink.
The walking tour continues to the Cafe Sally`s Corner, where a delicious Sotkamo-plate awaits us. The breads and flavours on the plate are local food. And tar is also present there.
Dessert is enjoyed at the Cafe of Kuppi and Kaneli, where you can taste chocolate cake with tar porter and coffee.
During the tour, the guide will tell stories about Kainuu`s food culture and destinations.

The first walking tour is on May 6th and then next one on July 25th. Register in advance at .
At other times, groups must book in advance, minimum 5 people.

Our snowshoe trip starts with a snowmobile sleigh ride towards the fairytale island of Ärjänsaari, which is about 4km away.

You'll begin by gearing up with snowshoes and learning the basics of snowshoeing technique. Then, it’s time to head out—soon you’ll find yourself surrounded by untouched snow, peaceful silence, and the magic of the winter forest.

Led by your local guide, you’ll venture safely deeper into the snowy wilderness, hearing fascinating stories about the nature around you and the Vuokatti area.

After about an hour of snowshoeing, we’ll arrive at a cozy wooden hut, where you’ll learn how to build a fire with the help of your guide. Relax by the open flames, sip warm drinks, and enjoy tasty snacks you’ve prepared yourself.

Before heading back, there’s time to soak in the stillness, explore the natural surroundings, and simply breathe.
You’ll return to the starting point feeling refreshed, recharged, and deeply connected to the serenity of the snowy landscape.

Experience steamship cruise to the mysterious Ärjänsaari island.

Ärjänsaari island, the island of countless stories, is a stunning location surrounded by steep sandbanks. The island is also known as the gem of Lake Oulujärvi.

On your way to Ärjänsaari island you can enjoy the open Lake Oulujärvi sceneries and listen to stories about the island’s history.

If it happens to be a warm summer day, there is nothing quite like digging your feet into the burning island sand. Our crew will tell stories of the history the ship and also all the passengers have a possibility to visit the ship's engine room where our engine master tells about the function of steam engine in practice.

Steamship Kouta is the northernmost steamship in Europe.

The ropes are let loose as the white-sided steamship slides across River Kajaaninjoki with its prow towards Lake Oulujärvi. Over 100-year-old steam engine under the deck, heated with care, chugs to a steady rhythm and moves the craft almost silently. Along River Kajaaninjoki,we pass by the landscape that inspired author Elias Lönnrot and poet Eino Leino and soon one of the biggest lakes in Finland opens up ahead of us. Steep sandbanks shimmer in the summer sun.

The ship has seats on the deck as well as inside the salon (under a roof), for up to 60 passengers. You do not need to worry about rain or wind and more often than not, the weather on Lake Oulujärvi is clear although it might be raining in the city. The steamship bar is fully licenced.

Let a local guide take you to visit her house in the middle of an area where the bears and many other wild animals are roaming!

The house is located 25 kilometers away from the center of Kuhmo, in middle of a forest where you can observe animal tracks, signs of the ice age and in the summertime berries and mushrooms. We will have a small walk in the area, or in the winter we can use skishoes. The walk is max. 4 kilometers.

After the walk we will head inside of the house, where we will enjoy some coffee/tea and snacks. The guide will tell you about interesting local lifestyle that connects traditions with modern technology. Perhaps you will learn why Finnish people are the happiest in the world!
