Juupajoki

Spend a half‑day in Juupajoki to visit the shoe museum, Korkeakoski gorge and the tavern; stay one night only if you want camping or a hostel.

Juupajoki is a small, forest‑rich municipality in Pirkanmaa. Its main attractions – the Koskenjalka Shoe Museum, Korkeakoski gorge and Kallenautio tavern – are close together, so a few hours suffice. Overnight is useful only for camping or to relax after a day of berry‑picking and fishing.
