Refreshing watersports

The rippling waves of Lake Vanajavesi in the centre of Hämeenlinna offer tremendous opportunities for a variety of water sports, and the city is definitely worth admiring from the water, too.

Vanaja Wake & SUP 

The Vanaja Wake & SUP water sport centre is located on Hämeensaari in the centre of Hämeenlinna, and it offers opportunities to practice water sports in a beautiful lakeside setting. Try wakeboarding, waterskiing, wakeboarding or SUP boarding.

Hämeenlinna City Boats 

Hämeenlinna’s speciality are the free orange-white city boats, which you can borrow on beaches all over the city. Remember to bring your own life jacket and hand water bailer!
