Haapajarvi

Tucked along the shores of Lake Haapajärvi in Finland’s forested interior, Haapajärvi is a town whose character is shaped by water, woodland and the long distances of Northern Ostrobothnia. The lake is part of the town’s everyday setting, while the surrounding terrain is typical of inland Finland: low-lying, heavily wooded and threaded with smaller waters. Haapajärvi is also a rail junction on the line between Ylivieska and Iisalmi, giving this small centre a practical connection to wider Finland. Its wooden church, completed in 1802, is a reminder of the area’s early parish life.
