The magic of Finnish nature - Lestijärvi

Small city in the middle of Finland

Lestijärvi is situated 100 kilometres from the west coast of Finland, not far from the geographical centre of Finland.

What impressed me most that's magnificent nature. At this part of Finland you can find big forests and lakes. I enjoyed one of them after the hot finnish sauna:) Really a wonderful relax! Forests are only of pine-trees and their trunks are so straight I haven't seen nowhere before. People are very kind there to the tourists, although not all speak English. We even were able to visit one smal cultural museum there and to help for the local people to clean there a little bit. Also you can find a small but nice church too.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Magnificent nature around...
Cons:Haven't found any...
In a nutshell:Small city with gorgeous nature...
