Go on a family Hörhiäis walk and participate in the raffle

A child sits on the ground and studies a question paper stuck to a hotel room.

Are you looking for something nice to do together outdoors during your summer vacation? Now you can take part in a self-guided Hörhiäiskävely in either the Kankaanpää or Honkajoki city center area. The purpose of the walk is to find Hörhiäis hotels, solve the questions found in the hotels and fill in the given crossword with the correct answers. At the same time, you will learn about Hörhiäis and get tips for a good Hörhiäis hotel. By solving the crossword, you can enter a free raffle In the Kankaanpää mobile app, and three lucky people will win the Adventure in Northern Satakunta board game! The draw will take place during Hörhiäisviiko, the last full week of August. The entry form can be found in the Kankaanpää app. Answer the survey from the section.

Download and print your own Kankaanpää or Honkajoki Hörhiäiskävely map from psvsa.samk.fi. A list of points where you can pick up pre-printed maps will also be updated on the same website. The crossword puzzle is the same for both walks.

The unique hotels of the Hörhiäiskävely were built by local young people at SAMK Kankaanpää Art School in the spring hörhiäis workshop. The inventive and artistic hotels are made entirely of decaying natural materials such as vascular plants, pine cones, wool and wood. Charcoal and carvings have been used for decoration, and the fastenings have been done with wooden pegs and jute rope. So don't be surprised if the hotels become part of nature during the summer, because that is the intention.

The Hörhiäiskävely is a summer experiment of SAMK's North Satakunta on the Waves of Green Transition project, which is related to the environmental education offered at the Honkajoki GEO learning environment. The GEO learning environment is also open to the public in the summer, welcome to visit! More information and opening hours can be found here: kankaanpaa.fi/koe-geo-oppimisymparisto-kesalla.

The project is funded by the EU's Just Transition Fund (JTF) and the Satakunta Regional Council.
