Where you’ll be

Kuopio
Sauna culture runs through daily life amid island-dotted lakes, where ice swimming and quiet waterfront neighborhoods mark this Finnish city.

From the host

Nuottisaari is surrounded by the lake "Pieni Tallusjärvi" It's the little (pieni) brother of big Tallusjärvi, which is navigable as far as Lahti. There is a small channel which connects the two lakes (rich in fish). Please treat this lake, which is largely untouched, with respect. Avoid contamination of water that is of drinking water quality.

Your neighbours are some Finns who have the summer houses at the lake. You barely meet or see them yet they are quite friendly if you approach them.

Since more than 40 years I am addicted to the traditional Finnish way of life during summer. Year after year I spent my summer holidays in another mökki setteled in the beautiful nature the country has to offer. Always on the search for the perfect place. I think I found it and I am happy to share it.
