Kitee

Lake Kiteenjärvi defines the setting of Kitee — its wooded shores and bays give this North Karelian town a distinctly lakeside rhythm, with settlement spread between water and forest. Kitee lies in eastern Finland, in a region where lakes, bogs and managed woodland shape the terrain and support widely scattered rural communities. The town is internationally associated with Nightwish, the symphonic metal band formed here in 1996. This connection gives Kitee an unexpected place in Finland’s contemporary music story, far from the country’s largest cities.
