A mökki can offer different facilities and usually it provides a sauna with many of the Finnish log cabins located at a lake or at a forest.

The experience of nature – a holiday apartment in Finland
Finland is a country with many different facets. The relaxing and stunning nature of Finland is typical for the Finnish Lake District. Numerous blue lakes with islands, necks and green woods are characteristic for the region. Saimaa is the largest of the Finnish lakes and constitutes the heart of the region. It is home to the endangered Saimaa ringed seal. At the shore of the Saimaa Lake several picturesque villages are seated, for example Joutseno. Its sights include the historic museum and the church. The indigenous animal park Korpikeidas does not only offer numerous animals but also a year-round fishing opportunity. The largest province is Finnish Lapland in the north of the country. Its picturesque landscape is characterised by coastal plains, downs and thick forests. Popular cities are Inari with its unique scenery, nature parks and the Sami museum as well as Rovaniemi, Lapland’s capital. Also worth a visit is the Jätkänkynttilä bridge and when travelling with children you should visit the Santa Clause Village. A holiday house in Finland is ideal for visiting the capital Helsinki which is situated in the south at the Gulf of Finland of the Baltic Sea. Without a doubt the must-sees include the Cathedral and the Senate Square, the monolithic church Temppeliaukio Kirkko as well as the indoor market Kauppahalli. Other popular sights include the castle island Suomenlinna, which is UNESCO World Cultural Heritage and the Helsinki zoo.
Holiday in Finland – Midnight sun and pleasure in the snow
The summer activities include swimming, canoeing, boating, hiking, biking and riding. The Finnish Lake District is also a paradise for fishing enthusiasts. During the winter it is bitterly cold and the lakes freeze over. The conditions are perfect for ice skating, ice fishing, cross country skiing and snow mobile rides. There are also numerous skiing regions. One of the most popular activities of Finns is having a sauna. And those who dare a dip into an ice hole will probably never forget the heady feeling. The probably most Nordic experience is a ride with a dog or reindeer sleigh through the woods and mountains. The perfect Finnish holiday can best be enjoyed from the comfort of a holiday house.
