Enjoying Finnish nature and well deserved nokipannukahvi (campfire or cowboy coffee; literally "soot pan coffee") over a warm toasty fire

This graph by @yleuutiset shows #finnishsummer in 2025 has been unusually wet in Kymenlaakso, Ostrobothnia, and South Karelia regions. The greener the graph, the more above average #rainfall. In comparison, Lapland, the Åland Islands, and North Karelia have been dry.

Happy Midsummer! Have you done your flowery Midsummer magic already? Pick up 7 different wild flowers, put them under your pillow, and your future spouse will appear to you in your dream

You may not know but nature was an integral part of punishments in #Finland until the mid 1800s. Examples are such as the stocks, whipping trees, hanging hills, and death at the stake. Gruesome but still part of the history of our #legalsystem

Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää Suomi! Happy Independence day, Finland!

To honour this special day, we wrote a post about one section of Salpalinja, the legendary defence line in Eastern Finland. We visited Vanttajankangas at @KuusamoRuka

Have you ever seen a cup-marked stone? They are remnants of Finnish ancient beliefs and plentiful in Southern Finland. We visited one at @Hartolan_kunta at #PäijätHäme

For the first time in recorded history, hurricane force winds were recorded in Finland's sea areas today (mean wind speed at least 33m/s or 73mph on the Beaufort scale). The Finnish Meteorological Institute recorded 33.5m/s winds at Rauma. #meteorology #historicalrecord

Suomen merialueilla on mitattu ensimmäistä kertaa mittaushistoriassa hirmumyrskyä (keskituuli vähintään 33 m/s). Rauman Kylmäpihlajalla keskituuli oli hetki sitten 33,5 m/s.

We checked out the very moving and unique rock paintings at Hossa National Park at Suomussalmi. We highly recommend a hike there as it's definitely memorable (though admittedly moderately demanding)

Have you seen Finland's largest tree called Tsaarinpoppeli at @Heinolakaupunki? This incredible and humongous tree is so big that I almost couldn't get a photo of it!

Read more about Tsaarinpoppeli from our post https://t.co/hcM2IRDcWm

It wasn't just our imagination playing tricks on us Finns: it WAS a looong cold winter 🥶

During Oct23-Apr24, Finland was the coldest country on the *planet* compared to a long-time average.

So, we Finns are happy but cold 🤷🏼‍♀️

If you are wondering where you can walk, not cross-country ski, during winter, check out @Eerikkila trails in Tammela.

Looking for a place to visit during the winter holidays? One of our recommendations is Lappajärvi crater lake at Southern Ostrobothnia. Plenty to do all year round!

Lappajärvi is definitely a unique place to visit, right @epmatkailu?
