Urjala

Urjala spreads around Lake Rutajärvi in Pirkanmaa, and its mix of water, woodland and cultivated fields has fostered a network of small settlements rather than a dense urban centre. Part of Finland’s Lakeland zone, it occupies a quieter stretch of the country’s southwest, where local roads pass farms and lakes. Urjala is closely associated with Nuutajärvi, where a glassworks founded in 1793 is regarded as Finland’s oldest; its former industrial area continues as a glass village with studios and exhibitions.
