Great place with lots of information on forestry, Finland’s largest industry. Could have spent a lot longer here but we were limited on time. Highly recommend!

Communications Centre Lokki

The communication centre of the Finnish army's headquarters, which was located in Mikkeli, was known by the code name, Lokki, which means "seagull" in Finnish. During the Continuation War of 1941-1944, the Lokki Communication Centre was based in a cave blasted into the side of Naisvuori hill. It handled the headquarters' telephone and telex traffic. The adjacent cave housed the regional air surveillance centre, the signalling station for the German link-up garrison and the sleeping quarters for the communication centre's staff. In addition, the cave contained working premises for Commander-in-Chief Mannerheim and his immediate subordinates. In the early 1990s, the Lokki Communication Centre's premises were skillfully restored to their appearance during the Continuation War.

Liehtalanniemen museotila

Reviewed By 992mikkok - Espoo, Finland

This is an old small farm site telling a personal story of Finland’s past from late 19th century until the ‘70’s. There is a local caretaker on site giving a very informative and interesting overview of farm’s history and the main events of Finland’s history. There is also a 1.5km nature trail. Definitely a place worth a visit, accessible also with boat as there is a guest dock also for overnight stay.
