The young Johan Ludvig Runeberg
needed money to fund his studies. In
1823, he took up a post as a home
tutor at the Kolkanlahti farm in
Saarijärvi. Johan was far away from
home, but during his time in Saarijärvi
he discovered a traditional Finnish
way of living that would later become
a major influence on his poetry. The
main building of the farm today houses
the Gentry Home Museum. The first
floor of the building features Runeberg’s
bedroom and an exhibition on the life
and work of the national poet.
Fishing and hunting
The best locations for fishing are the
lakes Summanen, Pyhäjärvi, IsoLöytänä, Karankajärvi, Ylä-Viivajärvi,
and Kivijärvi. The Saarijärvi region
offers more than 100,000 hectares of
woodland suitable for hunting grouse
and wild ducks, for example.
In the Stone Age village, you and your
family can travel 5,000 years back in
time. See Stone Age tools and explore
prehistoric dwellings from around the
world. You can even try your hand at
paddling an ancient boat or using a stone
axe. On the history and nature trail, you
will see ancient earthworks and structures, including trapping pits.
Kulhanvuori hill and
Syväoja gorge
Feel the goosebumps! In the Kulha Nature
Reserve, you can climb the Kulhanvuori
hill, one of the highest points in Central
Finland, and hike in the mystical Syväoja
gorge. The vertical walls of the gorge rise
to the height of tree tops, and they can
remain covered with ice well into the
summer months. There is a 3.5 km hiking
trail in the area.

In Saarijärvi, you can also enjoy water
indoors. You deserve a relaxing soak in a
hot tub, followed by a water massage and
the gentle heat of a steam sauna. Perhaps
speed is more your thing? The 36-metre
water slide offers thrills for all ages. Work
up a sweat at the gym and cool down in
the cold pool.

Statues for Finnish ‘sisu’
and world peace
