On a night hike, you travel through a mild summer night in the natural and cultural landscape of Kaustis. Along the hike, you will smell the scent of the forest trail, feel the stiffness of the rock and experience a landscape treated by man. The atmosphere of the festival week is enhanced by the musical experiences sprinkled throughout the hike. The charm of nature will leave a lasting impression of cultural experiences. Highlights of the hike include Pööskallio, Isokallio, Järvelkä suspension bridge with its river scenery, Huntus Rock and the mystical Pauanne.
There are two routes, a shorter route for all ages (approx. 4.5 km) from Järvelä to Pööskallio, and a longer hike (approx. 15 km) from Järvelä via Pööskallio and the suspension bridge to Pauantee.
