Timeline

  1. 13:09

    Tapolan mustamakkarabaari

    Grab a fresh black sausage from the oven. The factory shop is open early on weekdays, so you can grab breakfast on the go before the light hits.

  2. 13:34

    Kenneli DIY

    Walk into the former pulp mill to find Kenneli DIY. The indoor skatepark is a striking mix of concrete and history. Arrive just before the golden light fills the space, watching the shadows lengthen across the ramps.

  3. 14:34

    Makutuote

    Head to Makutuote for a proper coffee and a sit-down break. The café opens at 07:30, which fits perfectly after your morning skate session.
