Finland has so many beautiful nature..so many beautiful lakes, sea, rivers...but this one is not a gem at all.. Little sized lake with a dark water, overcrowded almost always (even in winter). Most of the time, it is hard to park a car, because parking slots are full of cars. Saunas are also always full and in the shower area you need to wait when you get opportunity to take a shower. Ladies sauna requires to be naked, so you cant use your swimming suite inside of the sauna. Every time you come out of the sauna, you need to pull upon your wet swimming suit, then to take a long walk to the lake shore. Lake shore is not close to the sauna- before you get the swimming, you already feeling cold.. Vantaa itself is a place with a very poor possibilities of any fun activities and water activities also are so limited like almost nowhere else in Finland..so this lake is the only one lake in Vantaa...You kind of have to like it even if you do not..but still, I prefer to come out of Vantaa somewhere to Helsinki or even to Lahti.

Probably one of my favourite experiences to try the real smokey saunas. Both locals and tourists favour this place with its canteen and health facilities, such as electric and traditional wooden fired saunas. After the heat you can dive in the ice cold water in the designated and monitored area just by the lake. Health enthusiast, couples, families... if you are new in Finland, this place is a must visit. The closest real smoky sauna from Helsinki.
