Janakkala: Tie 3 - Turenki - Tie 292 Turenkiin
Janakkala combines rural calm with strong transport connections in a way that reflects its position in southern Finland. The municipality’s centre, Turenki, lies beside Highway 3, the major road corridor between Helsinki and Tampere, and on the Finnish Main Line railway. Forests, cultivated land and lakes shape the local setting; Lake Kernaalanjärvi is among the waters associated with Janakkala. The medieval stone Church of St Lawrence, set within the parish’s old church landscape, is a defining cultural landmark. Janakkala belongs to the historical region of Häme, where settlements have long developed along lakes, fields and transport routes. Turenki is also associated with Finnish sugar production through its former sugar factory.

Its gently rolling countryside is threaded by lakes and farmland, with Lake Vanajavesi forming a defining waterway around Hämeenlinna, the regional centre. The city’s Häme Castle, a medieval brick fortress beside the lake, recalls the period when Swedish rule extended into inland Finland.
