The Finnish Lakeland - pure tranquility
Together with Visit Finland we had the opportunity to travel to the lakeland area and it was one of the most stunning places we ever went to. This is a special mood clip we did. We sincerely hope to give you a feeling of this unique place on earth.

WHAT TO DO IN FINLAND'S LAKELAND in 60 seconds
It’s never too “lake” for Finland! On our memorable journey through Europe’s largest lake district, we met angry birds, singing captains and (almost) Santa Claus. What else there is to do? Here’s the answer in 60 seconds!

It went all too fast? You want the details? No problem.
Here are our recommendations in order of appearance:
00:07 Hotelli Anttolanhovi, Anttola
Accomodations in the Lakeland often come with a lake view, like the Hotelli Anttolanhovi. It’s the perfect example for Finlands large accomodation facilities for every budget, from private villas to tents.
00:10 Saimaa Canoeing, Puumala
Canoeing was our favourite way of exploring the Lake Saimaa. It’s so peaceful out in the waters around Puumala! More:
00:12 Mikkelipuisto Park, Mikkeli
Stand-up paddling can also be arranged in lots of places, and it’s great fun. The perfectly calm and deserted lakes are great for practicing!
00:16 “Lady of the Lake” Ecoboat
What makes this cruise memorable is its captain! Arto is a very funny and knowledgable guy with lots of stories to tell and most importantly: a great accordion player! More:
00:18 Ridge Road 4792, Punkaharju
Probably the most spectacular road of the Lakeland! Biking through the ridge area is a lot of fun, especially with (E-)fatbikes. We rented them here:
00:23 Kaarnaniemi Peninsula, Punkarharju
Picking mushrooms and berries is a national hobby. They are just everywhere – even next to your bungalow, just 10 metres away from your little kitchen. Very practical.
00:27 Ollinmäki winery, Anttola
From wine to liquor to schnapps: It’s amazing what Finns can make out of their lingonberries, cloudberries and raspberries. You can taste it yourself at this little winery. More:
00:33 Okkola Holiday Cottages, Puumala
Pastriewise it doesn’t get much more Finnish than Karelian pies. Lovely cottage owner Paula offers brilliant baking courses.
00:35 Hanhiniitty Smithy, Puumala
Finnish knifes are world-known. If you want to know and experience why, you can visit Martti in his smithy. He also rents canoes, so we did that! More:
00:37 Santa’s Summer Cottage, Mikkeli
The Kenkävero vicarage is a typical example for Finnish mansions that have been turned into tourist attractions. Including “Santa’s summer hideaway”, a cute and affectionately equipped hut. More:
00:42 MS Punkaharju, Savonlinna
Another fun way of exploring Lake Saimaa is a steamboat cruise departing daily from Savonlinna harbour. More:
00:44 Olavinlinna Castle, Savonlinna
Built on an island of Savonlinna, this beautiful castle with great views over the town is the “northernmost medieval stone fortress still standing”. Finns love their superlatives.
00:46 Metsälinna Pavilion, Ristiina
Ristiina is home to the Metsälinna couple dance venue. This is where the villagers meet to have some drinks and dance to Finnish tango and soft Rock’n’Roll. It was a fascinating and truly original experience.
00:48 Särkänniemi Park, Tampere
Särkänniemi offers lots of fun rollercoasters. A great change to the relaxing-on-the-water journey parts. More:
00:54 Pyynikki Observation Tower, Tampere
For the best view over Tampere head to the observation tower on the hill of Pyynikki Park.
00:56 Sahanlahti Resort, Puumala
Captain Arto (see 00:16) actually also teaches you how to make birch whisks for your typical Finnish sauna experience. Once you have bound your whisk properly, hop into your…
00:57 Smoke Sauna
…smoke sauna! The Sahanlahti Resort offers this ancestral type of sauna without a chimney, where they make a fire in a stove until it is hot enough and then ventilate the smoke out.
01:01 Moro Sky Bar, Tampere
This fancy cocktail bar is the highest of Finland (yep, another superlative). It has a tremendous view over the city of Tampere and a stylish interior.
01:03 Tree Tents, Hotelli Anttolanhovi
Wanna sleep like a bird in a tree? The suspended tree tents of Anttolanhovi are a great budget option. A bit shaky at first, but very comfy in a second.
Thanks to public link, Visit Saimaa, Visit Puumala and Visit Tampere for making this possible.

HAMEENLINNA, FINLAND | Gateway to EUROPE'S LARGEST Lake District (Finnish Lakeland)
HAMEENLINNA, FINLAND: Exploring one of Finland’s oldest cities & walking around the beautiful lakes & castles situated on the edge of Europe’s largest lake district - Finnish Lakeland.
???????? See more of my travel vlogs from Finland here →
Visiting Hameenlinna is a straightforward and relatively cheap train ride from either Helsinki or Tampere. I came from the latter with plans to see as much as I could in one well executed day trip. My aim was to spend most of the day in the city and then perhaps a few hours down by the lakes and forests of Aulanko Nature Reserve - enjoying the tranquillity that the great outdoors can bring.
After arriving at one of Finland’s oldest railway stations I headed down to the lake and picked up a well maintained trail that led me through the trees, across the wetland and past several abandoned buildings. There were some wonderful view points as I followed the lakes shoreline, several looking out across to the brick built Hameenlinna Castle and others equipped with tables and seating to just watch the vast waterline of the lake. There were plenty of birds chirping and leaves falling - even an express train or two passing.
After an hour or so I arrived at a magnificent granite castle that served as the entrance to the Aulanko Nature Reserve & Historical Site. The sign listed more castles, swan lakes, hiking trails, bird watching areas, play zones, caves and swimming places so I headed inside. I weaved across a few trails until I got lost in the woods, and just when I was about to re-examine the map I stumbled upon a spectacular lookout tower and viewpoint looking out over the lakes and forest below. It has to be seen to be believed! I was really enjoying my trip to Hameenlinna.
Having spent a few more hours than I planned at Aulanko I walked back towards the city, this time I crossed a fairly modern-looking railway bridge and followed a trail on the other side of the lake back to Häme Castle. I spent an hour exploring the brick structure and learning about its history before continuing on towards the city centre of Hameenlinna.
There I enjoyed walking by a number of old wooden houses and a much more contemporary church (Hämeenlinnan kirkko) that dominated the main square. I also caught up with the statue of Finnish composer Jean Sibelius and gazed upon his childhood home that still stands in the heart of the city.

Feel The Power of The Northern Lights
In Finnish, the Northern Lights are called revontulet, which means “fox fires”. In bygone days, people believed that the auroras were created by foxes running over the tundra and emitting sparks. These days, many people believe auroras have a beneficial effect on fertility. This romantic myth interests people universally. This video combines two legends by telling the romantic story of the awakening of the arctic fox fires.

Visit Finland - 10 Things That Will SHOCK You About Finland
Finland or Suomi is the land of eternal sunshine in the summer, more lakes than you can imagine, and possibly the grossest candy on the planet? Finland is an amazing country to visit and whether it is the breathtaking nature, the kind yet quiet Finnish people, or the endless times you will visit the sauna there will always be things that may shock a tourist when they visit Finland.
10 Things That Shock Tourists about Visiting Finland
1. The Sauna Culture: Do expect to head into a sauna during your time in Finland. It is such a part of the culture that people have them built into their homes, and yes do expect to go naked and run out and jump into the snow for a little extra fun.
2. The Finns Can Talk While Inhaling: the Finns have so much to say when they do talk that they actually can talk while they exhale and while they inhale. Quite a sight when you see it for the first time.
3. The Natural Beauty of Finland: from the lakes and forests to the parks and islands Finland boasts a ton of nature and the locals love it. So whether it is skiing in Lapland or mushroom hunting or visiting the archipelago islands you will see so much beauty in Finland.
4. How Quiet the Finns Can Be: the Finns enjoy silence and you will see that in stores, on the street, and especially on public transportation. So do keep it down.
5. How Clean Finland Is: from pristine forests, to amazing clean and crisp air, to the locals having pride and keeping their cities and towns clean, Finns do love a clean country. Oh, and never wear your shoes in someones house.
6. Finnish Tasty Treats: Salmiakki is the child of black licorice and salt, and I mean that in the least tastiest way possible. The Finns love salmiakki candy (and Finland has a ton of great candy aside form Salmiakki). So be prepared for some great tasty treats, like their cinnamon rolls and anything made with mushrooms and do watch out for the funny ones.
7. How Difficult the Finnish Language Is: luckily for tourists most Finns speak very good English, so you do not need to speak any Finnish. The Finnish language is considered one of the most difficult languages to learn and when you see all those vowels you will understand why.
8. The Cities Have Two Names: in Finland, Finnish and Swedish are the two official languages and so all the signs on the highway are in Finnish and Swedish. This can lead to a bit of confusion when the cities don't have similar names in both languages, for example Turku is Turku in English and Finnish, but Abo in Swedish.
9. Finnish Logic: for as smart and clever as the Finns are some foreigners sometimes get lost in Finnish logic. When you see something around the country that just doesn't quite make sense, just chalk it up to Finnish logic.
10. You Have to Go to a Government Store to Buy Hard Alcohol: if you want to grab a bottle of Finlandia Vodka in Helsinki you can't just head to the local grocery store. You have to go to Alko, the government run liquor store. The prices are high and the hours are strange, but it is the only place to go.

We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.
We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.
We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.
Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.
Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here
Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.
