Tammela

The landscape around Tammela is a mosaic of forests, lakes and peatlands, which has shaped both the dispersed settlement pattern and traditional rural livelihoods. The municipal centre stands near Lake Pyhäjärvi in Kanta-Häme, southwest of Forssa. Two national parks underline the area’s varied terrain: Liesjärvi preserves woodland and lake country, while Torronsuo protects an extensive raised bog. Mustiala is an important local landmark, as Finland’s first agricultural school was established there in 1840. Hiking, paddling and cross-country skiing suit the changing seasons, yet Tammela remains above all a working Finnish countryside.
