The Harju heritage landscape farm specialises as a caretaker of traditional landscapes. The farm milieu is classified as a nationally valuable heritage landscape and was awarded as the heritage landscape of the year in 2013. Explore the farm’s beautiful manicured meadows, grazing lands and forest pastures and learn about our some 300 native species of plants. The spacious and biodiverse natural pastures found on the farm used to be commonplace in Finland, but urbanisation and agricultural reform have caused them to become rare and endangered.

The Tainionvirta river flows from lake Jääsjärvi to the great lake of the region, Päijänne. On the Hartola side, the river has five rapids with a total drop in elevation of around seven metres.

Tainionvirta is a calm river that meanders through diverse terrain. Fishing is possible without wading, and good fishing spots are easily accessible. Both lure and fly fishing are possible along the river. The fishing season on Tainionvirta begins early in the spring. The stream is slow enough to allow fishing also in cold waters. The river is particularly well-suited for springtime fly fishing with February red stoneflies.

Tainonvirta also offers great opportunities for canoeing. The canoe route stretches all the way from lake Jääsjärvi in Hartola to lake Majutvesi in Sysmä. The 40-kilometre course includes 24 kilometres of river and 16 kilometres of lake canoeing.
