LOCATION Lohja town surroundings

The day will be spent outdoors, on Lake Lohja and in the surrounding forest. Lake Lohja is the biggest lake in the Uusimaa region of Southern Finland. The area is unique and well known for its fish, birds and forest groves. Finnish people call forests their churches and visit them for peace, quiet and  recreation. Making coffee on a bonfire is a hundred-year-old tradition in Finland. Finnish people love their coffee and it is a luxury to make it on the campfire in this busy world. The aim of this day is to relax in nature –  herefore on this trip you make a promise to stay offline.
