Kruunupuisto swims

I'm at a health rehab this week, in chose the place so that I could enjoy the nature at the same time. I'm in Hotel Kruunupuisto, on the national landscape of Punkaharju where thin sandy ridges cross lakes. The Finnish "road of the century" runs along the ridges, lined up with pine trees and the water. Wonderful place. I also tested the hotel spa, the hotel beach, and biked around the the area.

They had an excellent program, doctors, nurses, nutritionists, exercise specialists, etc. Hopefully this will improve my health...

More information about the hotel and spa can be found here, and the road here. The hotel is at N 61.785278 E 29.313380 and their swimming beach at N 61.784710 E 29.309063.

Also, how many shoes do you need on a rehab trip? 

Apparently seven: pool flip-flops, lake shoes, light sports shoes, indoor sports shoes, hiking boots, and ski boots. See the other article (alt. link) for why the last two were needed.
