It`s not a fairytale, but a real world that inspired the world famous author Tolkien to write the Lord of the Rings.
As Lonely Planet writes on its website (www.lonelyplanet.com): There's something pure in the Finnish air and spirit that's incredibly vital and exciting.
Summertime in Finland is wonderful for treks among forests and lakes. Escape from the busy city life and just sit on the veranda of a waterside wooden cottage. Watch the summer sun shining low over the trees and dream away. Enjoy the peace, reload your batteries and heal your soul. Catch the aurora borealis after your wood-fired sauna and you'll feel blessed by the universe.
Escape from asphalt and shopping malls into a fairy-tale world of dense forests, lakes, rocky trails, wild reindeers, elks and fish. The best of all is the smoked sauna.
