Nurmijarvi

Few cities in Mainland Finland have a history as closely tied to the life and work of Aleksis Kivi as Nurmijärvi. Finland’s national writer was born in the village of Palojoki, where his birthplace is maintained as a museum. His 1870 novel Seven Brothers, a cornerstone of Finnish literature, evokes the rural world associated with this part of Uusimaa. The Vantaa River passes through the municipality, and Lake Sääksjärvi adds a prominent lakeside destination to its wooded southern-Finnish terrain. Located northwest of Helsinki, Nurmijärvi forms part of the capital region while retaining a distinctly rural character.
