Walking in Finland

I forget the name of this restaurant. It is on the south side of Vesijarvi lake, a short distance from downtown Lahti. There is a small driveway out to the island where this is.

I was out walking on one of my few days off work while I was in Lahti. I came across this in the early afternoon, and had a very nice lunch here. The soup was especially good on a rather dreary day.

Finland is a great place to walk. Like many northern countries that have long dark winters, in the summer, people want to be outside. Because of this, there are many walking trails. When you explore by walking, you always discover places that you would never notice from a car.
