I have been living in Heinola over 20 years. Beautiful town, not too big, not to small. River Kymi gives its charm. In summer Heinola is very green and in winter the river makes trees so bright white. Summertime the marketplace is very active. Nice place to visit.

Jaala centrum is a nice country village. From the main street you can see lake Pyhäjärvi, nice scenery. Many villages belong to Jaála and it has several lakes. And that means of course, that there are plenty of summehouses. Our summercottage is at Uimila-village, that' s why the high rate. Verla is of course worth visiting.

Despite the sketch by Lapinlahden linnut calling this a 'tyly kaupunki', Heinola is a nice summer town!

Decent food for the hungry - the portions are huge.
On a saturday the place seemed to be very popular, especially among families.

Like the description says, Kuusankoski is an industrial town. Nothing much to see. River Kymi flows through the town and it is the best sight of the town.

Hansa shopping center is situated in Kouvola at the centrum of the town. Many shops, all kind and several restaurants. There is a parking hall below the center. Easy to find, nice to do shopping.

In the National Park of Repovesi you can find a scary suspension bridge. If you are going on a hike, you have to walk on it. But if you are only going to see the bridge as I did, there is no point walking on it :P Well maybe there is, but I was too scared of it.

The bridge is quite high and I was there on a calm day and it still moved back and forth. Any case, really interesting place, but maybe not for those who are scared of hights.

Kouvola is a sleepy and safe small town in the South-East of Finland. If you want to experience the true Finnish townlife - make your way there. Amusement part Tykkimäki is wonderful in the summertime.

jbtht asked a question about Jaala 2 months ago

I want to go trekking in Repovesi in early April 2010. As the park seems quite small, I was thinking of sleeping in guest houses by the park. Or is there any huts available in the park? How is the weather in April there?
