Tupsula
All Kraatteri Resort apartments are located at Nykälänniemi on the shores of Lappajärvi, and each has been named after a place or story connected to the Kraatterijärvi Geopark area.
Tupsula is a chalet apartment in Lappajärvi, in the peaceful Nykälänniemi area. It offers a tranquil base for a holiday where the lake scenery, the rhythm of nature, and local stories accompany you throughout your stay. The name Tupsula evokes the strong craft and textile traditions of the Lappajärvi region, a tradition that lives on in the area to this day.
A Long Tradition of Craftsmanship
The chalet's name was inspired by the Tupsula area in Lappajärvi. According to local lore, the area's name has its roots in the region's strong textile and handicraft heritage. Fact or legend, the tradition certainly flourishes still. Rugs made in Lappajärvi are today exported around the world, and Lappajärven Värjäämö has grown into Finland's largest yarn dyeing studio, a true treasure trove for craft enthusiasts, with a factory shop selling craft and hobby materials. Another local highlight is Verho- ja Mattotalo, a home décor shop brimming with heart, known especially for its unique fabrics featuring locally inspired designs.
Peaceful Living Close to Lake Nature
Tupsula suits the holidaymaker who is looking for peace, room to breathe, and a chance to step away from everyday life. The landscapes of Lappajärvi, the changing seasons, and the closeness of nature create the perfect setting for a relaxing break. Mornings can begin to the stillness of the lake, afternoons can be spent browsing the delights of local boutiques, and evenings can be spent returning to the shelter of the chalet.
Nature offers experiences without hurry. Just like craftsmanship itself — it takes time and attention.
