Kiikunlahde, Hollola

Place is truly beautiful, but for me downside was fences all over the place that keeps you away from the lake. I really do not understand that, keeping in mind that Finland is very proud on “Every men right”. People trespass fence here and there and I didn’t witnessed any inconvenience but warnings are there pointing that it is a private property.

One of nature's beauties. This natural spring is like 20 km away from Lahti. You can get there by bus and then walk around 30 minutes on a very easy flat trail. (It was difficult for us to find the right bus, but basically, if coming from Lahti, bus 11A will take you, you just need to check the schedules but it leaves roughly every hour. To come back you need to finish the route in the same direction and then the bus takes a different one to Lahti.) The spring has a strange turquoise color and it's one of Finland's biggest springs (though obviously quite small if you compare it to a lake so it's no good to do that). It's important to note there's not much to do besides that, it's hard to seat near the spring and pictures don't do it justice.
