The warm weather has melted the snow in Hämeenkangas too. On the narrow paths, which are not used for cross-country skiing in winter, the snow and ice are the first to melt. In addition to birdsong in the forest, you can also hear the sounds of the first airplanes of the summer flying season. Airplanes are the most typical sign of spring in Jämijärvi. For more information about the routes and rest stops, visit the Jämi website.
Winds and sunshine quickly dry out the terrain in spring. If you want to make a fire at a camping site, you should always check in advance on the website of the Finnish Meteorological Institute that there is no existing wildfire warning in the area. It is forbidden to make campfires during the wildfire warning.
The Finnish Meteorological Institute’s warnings
Check the warnings already at home and take the conditions into account before your hike. A tasty picnic does not necessarily mean you have to light a fire. Warm food can be packed in a thermos at home, or you may prefer to eat cold treats such as stuffed sandwiches.
