Arrival instructions
Travel along road 25 between Hyvinkää and Mäntsälä before taking the turning to Keravanjärvenranta. Keravanjärvi is 1.5 kilometres from the crossing.
Keravanjärvi is situated between Mäntsälä and Hyvinkää. There is a beach with shallow water, which is great place for children to swim and for anglers to enjoy a bit of fishing. The southern beach is also very popular with sun bathers.
Beyond the beach on Keravanjärvi lies an old forest full of natural treasures. The large spruces and aspens truly evoke the ambience of a historic woodland. The forest is a popular place to pick berries and mushrooms in the autumn months.
Making a fire is only permitted in the fire pit by the beach (marked in the map). You must only use charcoal or firewood you have brought with you at the campfire site. There is no firewood service in the area. Felling or damaging trees is prohibited. When a wildfire warning is in place, no fires are permitted.
Dogs and other pets must be kept on a leash.
