Matkailutila Haapamäki is located in a beautiful rural setting in the village of Vaskivesi, about 19 kilometres (12 miles) from the town of Virrat and in the middle of the Finnish Lake District. The long and winding waterways with their numerous canals are a memorable experience for those paddling or sailing in this area. Virrat is a town that has many beautiful villas, and the rich cultural heritage offers plenty to see and do, which makes Virrat a popular destination.
The Haapamäki farm is open from 2 May to 20 October in 2013, and at other times by reservation.

A sauna by the lakeside invites use with its continuously heated stove, available for use by guests after a brief introduction. The building also has a smoke sauna, available on order, as well as a lounge with a fire place, showers, and a dressing room. For an unforgettable experience, take a dip in the cool lake directly from the hot sauna.
Näsijärvi also offers excellent possibilities for fishing, with stocks of pike, pike-perch and perch. In fact, angling turned out to be a favourite pastime last summer among guests from toddlers to oldtimers. The rowing boats at the lakeside are freely available to our guests.
The lakeside quay makes it possible to arrive by boat from as far away as Tampere. Also, the M/S Kimalle stops at our quay by reservation during the summertime.
