5 ~~~ Touropia ~ Finland ~ 10 Most Beautiful Lakes in Finland The Republic of Finland is among the most northern of European countries and is bordered by Russia to the east and Sweden to the west.
By some estimates, Finland has just shy of 200,000 lakes, so it’s no surprise that they play key roles in Finnish culture and recreation. The beautiful lakes are a great place to experience a steaming hot sauna, Finland’s most famous export. Dipping in icy lakes is said to be good for the blood circulation, but most do it simply for the incredible rush.
The southern and central portions of the country are home to the majority of Finland’s lakes, especially along its eastern border with Russia, and though many of them appear to be separate, a closer look reveals that they’re actually connected to one another, and this is particularly true in the spring and summer when they swell with snowmelt. www.touropia.com/lakes-in-finland/ |

8 ~~~ Touropia ~ Finland ~ Travel Info ~~~ 17 Best Places to Visit in Northern Europe Northern Europe may be known as a place of Vikings and snow – and to some extent, that’s not incorrect. The Viking Age definitely did help to shape the culture of Scandinavia, and yes; there is a lot of snow, too. But it’s much more refined, and much more beautiful, than you could imagine. From the storied, colorful old towns of some of the region’s richest trading cities to museums stressing the importance of the ancient Vikings, history comes to life in Northern Europe. Then there are far-flung islands where the sun never sets in summer, magnificent fjords and lakes as far as the eye can see. One thing is for sure; Northern Europe is modest about its majesty. www.touropia.com/best-places-to-visit-in-northern-europe/ |
