Hiking on autumn nature trails
Nothing beats an autumn hiking trip with the spectacular display of colors all around. Pack some snacks and head out to explore local nature trails where the freshness and fall foliage truly shine. The Hietasaari nature trails are right next to Nallikari. The area’s longest loop trail, the Hietasaari Circuit, is 5.2 kilometers long and covers the main attractions of the routes.
A 20-kilometer drive away, you’ll find both the popular 7-kilometer Aistireitti trail in Pilpasuo and the newly renovated Sanginjoki nature reserve, which opens in October.
Remember to bring proper clothing and footwear, as autumn rains can make the trails a bit slippery. When you find a suitable spot along the route, take a deep breath and stop for a snack break to enjoy a thermos of coffee in the midst of nature.
Canoeing trip in the river delta
Paddling in the river delta amidst the autumn colors is an experience worth having! The Oulu area offers excellent opportunities for kayaking, and for instance, the Oulu River delta provides a beautiful setting for this activity. Rent a kayak or canoe conveniently from Nallikari Safaris at the lower level of Nallikari Aalto, or join a guided tour with an experienced guide. Guaranteed departures are available throughout the autumn!
Ziplining by the sea
If autumn needs a touch of excitement, ziplining by the sea is the perfect activity. Oulu ZipLine offers stunning views over the sea and guarantees an adrenaline-filled experience for all ages.
Sliding high above, with the fall colors painting the landscape, is an experience that will stay with you for a long time. There’s also the thrill of the night zipline, where only headlamps light up the darkness ahead.
Bike ride in the autumn city
Cycling isn’t just a summer activity – an autumn bike ride is a great way to explore the city or its surroundings from a new perspective! The 10 km Merellinen route in Oulu takes you through the Oulu River delta, through the colorful fall foliage of the wooden city district of Pikisaari, and all the way to the city center. Put on windproof clothing and enjoy the fresh air. You can easily rent a city bike from the reception at Nallikari Holiday Village.
