Once upon a time there was an elf. An old man, a long beard, all-articing taper ears, and beautiful character. It was where the Mountain Pocket lived in peace. It took good care of the ambiance of the cottage and its outfits. There was no rush to live. In the morning, it was necessary to sleep in, the making of lingonberries took its own time. In the hope of a large castles, it was worth wandering from one ranger to another and shepherd the elk children to the attention of her mistress. The bird choir hobby and my bear wrist kept the mind high and the body brave. It's a bliss, as the evening bonfire coffee dries. With Ikihonga, the shield was dreamed. From the night sauna, the elf flashes to cool off the heather into the stump, as at midnight the blueberry is at its coolest. Happy to sit for a nightless night and breathe life.

ACTIVITIES

The mountain pocket is a 15-minute walk from the shore of the Kimola Canal, where big waters open up to Konniselä and further to Päijänne. The berry and mushroom coils begin right on the corner of the cottage, and the far-sighted sunsets open up from our high rocky lands.

A tip in between: a swimming pool, nature trails, ski trails, an experience park Flowpark, several restaurants, a sports bar, a nightclub that also offers live bands, glow casting, etc.
Soldered with warm cow's milk, our authentic country village is a haven of goodwinds! The village of Vuolenkoski has been chosen as the village of the year in 2014, and for no reason, as one of the year-round active villages can be searched for in the country of Finland. Examples include every summer Saturday country market, the eventful Living Christmas Calendar, and the larger public events Veteran tractors Tractors' Pulling Races and the Tuu Tupahan Housing Fair. In the summer, the village also has a nice family destination, Kilkkilä Farm, with its versatile scratches. The village's great website: vuolenkoski. f i.

Finland's Most Beautiful Cottage Finalist now open for guests!
Once upon a time there was an elf. An old man with a long beard, all-hearing pointy ears and a charming nature. In the peace of Hill Pocket he lived, caring for the atmosphere of the cottage and its guests.
There was no room for hurry; mornings were for sleeping late, preparing lingonberry porridge took its time. For a good raspberry harvest, it was worth rambling from a hillock to a hummock and shepherd moose youngsters back in the care of their mother. Joining in with a bird choir and bear wrestling kept the mind majestic and body brave.
Blissfulness would boil over along with the coffee pot on the camp fire. The age old trees and the elf dreamt. After nighttime sauna was the time to unwind in the heathland. Blueberries taste sweetest in the midnight. Happiness is to settle down in the glow of the midnight sun and breathe in life.
