Among the communities of Mainland Finland, Hartola stands out for the Tainionvirta River, which passes through the settlement from Lake Jääsjärvi. It belongs to the Finnish Lakeland, a region of wooded shores, waterways and summer cottages where life follows the seasonal rhythm of the water. Boating, fishing and paddling are part of the area's outdoor character, while the wooden Hartola Church provides a focal point in the centre. Hartola is also known as the Kingdom of Hartola, a local identity associated with King Gustav III and the late 18th century.
