Tärnniallentaus

Tärnniallentaus is a Finnish word that refers to a type of long-distance hiking tour in the country's vast wilderness areas. The term is derived from the Finnish language, with "tärnni" meaning "large" or "wide" and "allentaus" meaning "descend" or "slope".

In practice, tärnniallentaus involves hiking over long distances, often between 10 to 30 kilometers per day, through rugged terrain and varied natural landscapes. The tours may take several days to complete, depending on the route and the terrain. The idea behind tärnniallentaus is to immerse oneself in the Finnish wilderness and experience the natural beauty of the country's vast forests, lakes, and hills.

Tärnniallentaus is often done in remote areas, far from civilization, and participants typically carry all their supplies with them, including food, water, and clothing. The tours are typically self-guided, with participants using various maps and guidebooks to navigate the terrain. However, some tour operators also offer guided tärnniallentaus options, where experienced guides provide support and guidance throughout the tour.

The concept of tärnniallentaus has become increasingly popular in Finland in recent years, as more people seek to experience the country's vast wilderness areas. The activities involved in tärnniallentaus require a certain level of physical fitness and outdoor skills, such as map-reading and first aid. However, the rewards of experiencing the beauty of Finnish wilderness are well worth the effort for many enthusiasts of the outdoor activities.
