The steamship S/S Heinävesi has resumed regular route service.
S/S Heinävesi is Finland’s oldest passenger ship still operating on its original route.
The historic Heinävesi Route connects Lake Kallavesi with Lake Haukivesi. This route is one of Finland’s most beautiful waterways and has rightfully been designated as one of our national landscapes. The Heinävesi Route is also among the nationally valuable landscape areas, offering an almost untouched lake scenery where human presence is limited to historical canals and idyllic village views.
The ship stops at the Oravi Canal (Makasiini Pier) on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
