Restaurant Nosturi, Bike Marine and construction company Otto 03 plan to maintain the ice rink as long as the weather permits.
At Vesijärvi, you can still go outside this winter along the maintained ice rink. Restaurant Nosturi, Bike Marine and construction company Otto 03 have prepared a six-kilometer track on the ice of the lake. The equipment can be borrowed from Bike Marine.
The track starting from Teivaa harbor runs along the beaches to Myllysaari, Niemen Harbor and back via Kariranta.
The ice rink threatened to stop being made when the restaurant Lokki, which previously operated it, gave up the job. Nosturi’s restaurant operations manager Teemu Pilsari estimates that taking on an expensive contract does not bring financial benefit, but the companies simply wanted to offer an opportunity to city dwellers.
– We are not doing this for money, he states.
The track has already been plowed on the ice with an ATV and the ice is visible, but the surface is still wet. The company’s goal is to keep the ice in as good condition as possible as far into spring as the weather permits. Efforts are also being made to maintain the surface of the track.
