Finnország - Marco Polo

"Land of a thousand lakes" - this is how Finland is often referred to, but this expression is not even close to reality: whoever comes here will find 187,888 lakes. In addition, 3.2 million saunas await the visitor, and the number of forests is almost endless. The landscape resembles a carpet sewn together from blue and green spots, with red wooden houses with white window frames everywhere. There is no rush, stress or noise here: the two weeks spent at the lakes are also refreshing for the soul. The lifestyle of the people living here is defined by the short summer, when life takes place at full intensity. At this time, no one sleeps, everyone parties and celebrates. In summer, life moves from cities to nature. The sun does not set, but covers the night in an eerie, silvery glow. With the arrival of summer, the season of special competitions begins and many cultural events are held. Finland is exciting everywhere and different in some special way. Nowhere in the world do the trees grow so straight up to the sky, the sun is not so bright in summer, and the lakes are not so quiet in the evenings as here. This country always and everywhere gives you the opportunity to breathe and recharge. The new volume of the Marco Polo series - containing up-to-date information and illustrated with colorful pictures and maps - guides us to this attractive country.
