나르페스 최고의 사이클링 경로

Along with Rauma and Porvoo, Kristinestad is one of the largest and best-preserved wooden house towns in Finland. There are several restaurants and a supermarket here. The campsite is 1 km away.

Travel times are posted on the pier.

In September, this snack bar was the only one open in the whole city.

Pretty, but deserted. Everything was closed, there was only a burger restaurant on the main square

Beautiful refuge. There are steps at the beginning of the trail but then the road is doable by pushing the bike.

Comfortable camping. You need a key for the toilet and shower. Unfortunately, despite registering in advance, the key handover didn't work out. She was then no longer reachable by phone. Luckily, there were others there who let me in. The kitchen is open, but there is no door. There are pans, a microwave, a coffee machine, two old hotplates and a grill. 200 m further on is the beautiful beach with two toilets.

Particularly worth mentioning is the church roof made of wooden shingles! It is very impressive to see that the entire church, including its furnishings, is made of wood!

Ulrika Eleonora The first wooden church in Kristinestad was built in 1654-58 on the site where Ulrika Eleonora Church is today, but it burned down on June 16, 1697. Construction of Ulrika Eleonora Church was completed in 1700. The church was renovated and re-consecrated in 1965. The wooden church with the votive ships hanging from the ceiling is typical of the coastal region. Shipbuilding can also be seen elsewhere in the church, e.g. inside the ceiling structure. The church's old cemetery contains the graves of the old famous families as well as the heroes' graves. The church hosts several services a year. Ulrika Eleonora is a popular place for weddings in the summer.
