A guided fatbike hike to the trail of the "Singing Ogre" in Äänekoski during snowless season

The trail passes the villages of Syvälahti, Lohilahti and Vihijärvi, passing through forests and hills, up to the mountains that reveal massive views over the forests.
In these parts, from the ancient times, villagers have resorted the the many waterways to socialize and do trading with surrounding villages along with the many routes through the more easily traversable terrain.
