~2.5 h driving
🧭 Walk me through this day- 🏺 Finbyn jatulintarha10:35
On the route, right on the road, 59 km into the trip.
Chosen because barely off the road.
💡 Park outside the old town and walk in. Medieval streets and 7 m vehicles end badly, and city parking is the most avoidable cost of any trip.
- 🛒 K-Market12:27
Shop for tonight — full supermarket — a proper shop. About 7 km from where you are sleeping.
💡 Supermarket car parks very often have a height barrier around 2 m — check the entrance before you commit to it. An edge-of-town or hypermarket site, or the goods entrance, is usually the way in with something tall. Buy for tonight and tomorrow's breakfast in one stop — it saves a second detour in the morning.
- 🛏️ Kittuis camping & caravan13:02
On the route, about 1.3 km off the road, 91 km into the trip. Has dump station, electric hook-up, drinking water, showers, toilets. Check: visithoutskar.fi
Chosen because has what a camper needs overnight, barely off the road.
💡 Allemansrätten lets you stay a night in most open country away from houses, but it does not cover motorhome 'wild camping' in laybys — that's decided locally and often signed.
