Lomaseutu invites you on an adventure

Start your holiday with dew from a mystical tree and tune into the local atmosphere by wandering in snowshoes across the snowy forests. Taste vendace from Viitasaari and have sauna in Hotel Pihkuri. Take a hike to the kingdom of Finnish forest reindeers in the Salamajärvi National Park, go fly fishing for brown trout at Huopanankoski, climb up to take in the magnificent lake view from the Savivuori observation tower, or follow the hiking trail to see Karoliinan portaat (Caroline’s Stairs), one of the seven wonders of Central Finland.

Even if you are just passing through on Highway 4, it pays to stop and admire the work of art called Tuhansien Laulujen Joutsen (the Swan of Thousands of Songs), with feathers made by the villagers’ splints, take a small detour to see the views from Pihtipudas’ Niemenharju, or stop by one of our amazing beaches. The Lomaseutu holiday region also provides varied shopping, especially for those interested in Finnish handicrafts, so it’s the perfect place to find gifts and souvernirs to your liking.
