You are becoming a real Finn: actually avoiding people instead of asking if they have a lighter or matches

You should contact different cities around Finland for a collab and do a Finnish travel series. I think your point of view is kinda uniq since you are a foreigner but you have lived in Finland for a long time.

@reetta6157 Год назад

There's also some old (stone age) rock paintings in Repovesi. They are not easy to see but just knowing they are there makes you think. You are probably not the only person ever to have struggled with making a fire with wood only in that place! :)

@lightningrider5849 Год назад

You seem to me really Finnish guy. You could have asked those other visitors to get some fire but like a Finn you didn't go even close ;) I think people in hiking places usually are super friendly and will help if you have any problems.

@artofstormdancing3319 Год назад

Yeah, people always share a nuotio while on the trail. Even I, a hugely antisocial person, will chat with strangers if there's a nice fire going, maybe some makkara and kahvi...

@durabelle Год назад

I was thinking the same 😄 Also happy to see they hadn't left any embers, as that would be against the rules. You light a fire, you stay until it's completely dead. Unless other people stay and take responsibility of course.

Repo / repolainen is old Finnish word for fox. In Estonian language fox is rebane. Actually word kettu meant skin / fur but later that changed to mean that animal.

Obligatory, that was Valkeala. Dont confuse that village with kouvola. Old hangbridge went down when some idiots rocked it too much. And kouvola was named after bears. kouvo=karhu=bear in old finnish. And for paskajärvi artillery ground, there is good fishing spots in there. Not that you can legally go there, but there is serious fish in those lakes.

True autorage there are many examples of towns that have merged with smaller towns in finland primarily to save money now becausr they smallet towns had merged with bigger towns they could shut down for exemple the small schools in the small towns that had merged which did save money and also the large towns now got more taxpayer money which ment they could lower the municipal tax rate personally my own hometown porvoo merged with is municipal counterpart back in already in 1997 however there are still some towns or cities in finland that havent merged with their municipal counterpart like for exemple kemi that still hasnt merged

For your next visit in Repovesi I recommend a couple hour stop in Arboretum Mustila, its about 50km from Repovesi towards Helsinki. Especially during early June there is very beautiful rhododendrons (Alppiruusu). I suggest also a visit to Tykkimäen Sauna and Restaurant Lammenranta, they're couple km's away from Kouvola city centre 😄👍🏼

@yorkaturr Год назад

Next time you should take the Korpin Kierros (raven trail) which will take you to Olhavanvuori, which is a stunning rock with a 50 meter vertical cliff face that rises up from the water below. When I was a kid we used to fish some ahven from there and cook them on a stick over the fire. Still the best fish I've ever had after 30 years.

@torinpostit3657 Год назад

You can get to Repovesi from Helsinki by the train between 29.4 - 28.10. (Helsinki - Hillosensalmi, there should be bus waiting on the station to take you to the start of the trail at least on weekends)

@yespa Год назад

Yes there are some big signs on the border of the military area. I have visited the Repovesi national park with a few friends a couple of times and every time we hiked the longest trail spread across few days of hiking, really beautiful place during the summer and unbelievably nice lakes to swim around in. "Olhava" is the highest place in Repovesi and has some extraordinary views on a clear day. The "Olhava" "mountain" also is a really popular rock-climbing destination and the camp site near "Olhava" is usually really populated during the summertime with rock climbers!

@midomon6210 Год назад

What a nice video, now I want to visit that park too! I had a tip for getting better prices for hotels btw, that I forgot to post on the previous video: So, you can use those booking sites to easily look for options. When you find the most appealing option though, call that hotel directly, instead of booking from the site. Those booking services take a middle man's cut and hike the prices, but if you call the hotel and inquire about free rooms and a quote, you may get a way lower price that way.
