Geocache Description:


Kirkkokansa on tullut aikoinaan veneillään Purunvedeltä Jouhenlahden rantaan. Rannassa on säilynyt viidentoista venevajan rivistö. Punamullatut, harjakattoiset vajat muodostavat laajimman venevajaryhmän Etelä-Savossa ja se on harvinainen jäänne aikoinaan tyypillisestä järviliikenteeseen liittyneestä rakentamisesta.
 
Venevajat on kunnostettu keväällä 2012, jolloin ne on muun muassa maalattu uudelleen.

Kirkkorannassa voit virkistäytyä pulahtamalla uimaan hienolta hiekkarannalta. Pukukoppi löytyy rannalta. Rannasta avautuvat myös upeat maisemat kirkasvetiselle ja muikuistaan kuululle Puruvedelle. 

Keskikokoinen kätkö on aivan venevajojen tuntumassa.

On former times people all around lake Puruvesi used to arrive in the church of Kerimäki by boats. On the coastline there's still a row of fifteen boathouses. Red ochre painted boathouses with pitched roofs form the largest boathouse group of Southern Savo. Those boathouses are rare remnants of typical boathouse building style of older days.
You can refresh yourself by taking a swim from a fine sand beach nearby. Changing room is also available. The scenery to the clear watered lake Puruvesi is marvellous. Puruvesi is famous of its vendace.

Medium sized cache can be found nearby the boathouses.
