to its current form around 50 years ago. The canal that connects Pyhäjärvi
and Vanajavesi is 1,275 metres long and its locks are used up to 3,000 times a

unique medieval church was built in grey stone at the beginning of the 16th
century. The church was named after its patron saint, Saint Birgit. The only
female saint in the Nordic countries, the Swedish Birgit, daughter of Birger,
lived in the 14th century. The church has been modified and expanded, for
example during the 1830s, when its base was expanded to the current crucifix form and the beautiful four-leaf clover windows were installed. The bell
tower standing next to the church has served as a museum of ecclesiastical
objects. The church is open on weekdays from 10 am to 4 pm starting from
the second week of June until the end of July.

The most famous nature attraction in the municipality of Lempäälä is the Birgitta Trail, a circular
trekking route amongst the beautiful lake and
forest landscapes. The trail consists of 50 km of
marked trekking routes. The Birgitta Trail was
named the best trekking route in Finland in 2006.
The route offers a variety of rocky and smooth paths, thick
forest and clear-cut areas, as well as grassy areas and jogging
paths. Hundreds of metres of duckboards and dozens of footbridges facilitate trekking in the marshy sections of the trail.
There are plenty of opportunities for taking a break and
making a campfire along the path. The trekking route has a
Lempäälä
good network of signposts and also several information boards
and sites for overnight camping. There are a few lean-tos,
dugouts and a hut along the route. Every now and then, the
ever-changing forest landscapes shift to breathtaking views of
the lakes.
You can choose the starting point and the length of the route
yourself. The trail is partly located close to populated areas,
so whether you come to the area by bus, train or car, it is easy
to go trekking. With the help of a map you can find the route
that best suits your abilities; there are easy, medium and hard
routes. The Birgitta trail is popular among the scouts as many
sections of the route are child-friendly. The Birgitta Trail offers
enough challenge even for experienced hikers. Get ready to go
trekking and let nature empower you!

Birgitta Weeks
– togetherness and great experiences for all senses.
Can you hear the music – flute, hurdy-gurdy and cittern? A horse
neighs amidst happy chatter. This is how people gathered at
the market hundreds of year ago, in the Middle Ages. Common
people and clergymen, merchants and travellers all got together,
travelling long distances by horse and along waterways. This year,
we can once again travel in time to the Middle Ages at the Birgitta
Weeks events.

Walk and illuminate
On the last Saturday of August, the Birgitta church walk will kick off the Birgitta Weeks, which were first organised
in 2003. The church walk is organised
annually, the other events every second
year (odd years). The two-kilometre
route ends at the shore in Myllyranta,
near the church.
On the shore, participants will light
Birgitta fires to provide atmospheric
lighting in the darkening evening.
A seminar on the Middle Ages
In Finland, the Middle Ages lasted from
the 12th or 13th century to the 16th
century. You can familiarise yourself
with the era by attending the Birgitta
Weeks Seminar on the Middle Ages at
Pirkan Opisto on 19 September.
The main event: a cheerful market
The Birgitta Market will take place in
the centre of Lempäälä, in and around
Kirkkotori Square, on 3 October 2015 at
10 am–2 pm. A procession in medieval
costumes will walk to the market from
the nearby Kanttorinpuisto Park, and
you can also join this colourful bunch.
The Birgitta Market will feature a wide
variety of sales booths and, naturally,
Lempäälä
programme as well. There will be
jugglers, and the atmosphere will be
complemented by the Härkätien Leikarit
orchestra, playing medieval market music with its fine instruments. More than
a thousand visitors are again expected to
enjoy the market and other events of the
Birgitta Weeks.
Concerts – listen and be enchanted
On 27 September, Lumous Ensemble
will be charming Manttaalitalo with the
“Kaipaus ja kohtalo” (Longing and fate)
concert, also featuring Anna-Maaria
Oramo and Sanna Majanlahti. The series
of events will conclude with a concert in
the St Birgit Memorial Church on Sunday
4 October: Celebrating light, the Bach
concert “Pyhiinvaellus” (Pilgrimage).
The soloist will be Markku LuolajanMikkola, baroque cello.
