Lappi: Tie12 Lapinmaki - Tienpinta
Lappi occupies a low, wooded inland setting in Satakunta, western Finland. The community lies east of Rauma on the route of Finnish National Road 12, which leads from the Gulf of Bothnia coast through Tampere and across southern Finland. Fields, coniferous woodland and scattered settlement typify this part of the country, where roads connect rural districts with Rauma’s port and industrial centre. Lappi was an independent municipality until 2009, when it was incorporated into the city of Rauma. On the coast to the west, Old Rauma is a UNESCO World Heritage Site noted for its extensive wooden architecture and longstanding lace-making tradition.

Lappi sits along the Lappijoki River in western Finland, where cultivated fields and forest form a low-lying rural setting inland from the Gulf of Bothnia. Once an independent municipality, Lappi was incorporated into the city of Rauma in 2009, but its parish identity and village-scale centre remain distinct from Rauma’s coastal historic core. Lappi Church, an 18th-century wooden church, is a local landmark and recalls the area’s long-established settlement. The surrounding Satakunta countryside is defined by farms, wooded roads and small communities rather than urban density.

Satakunta stretches from the Gulf of Bothnia to the inland reaches of the Kokemäenjoki River, encompassing a low coastal plain, river valleys and extensive forests. Pori, the region’s largest city, stands near the river’s outlet and is known internationally for the annual Pori Jazz festival. North of the city, Yyteri is recognised for its long sandy beach and dune terrain. Further south, Rauma preserves Old Rauma, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed wooden town centre whose street plan reflects centuries of maritime trade and craftsmanship.

The terrain of Finland ranges from low coastal plains along the Gulf of Bothnia to fells in Lapland, creating a country of forests, lakes and long northern distances. More than 180,000 lakes shape everyday life, while the Lakeland region is threaded with waterways and islands. Helsinki, on the Gulf of Finland, combines neoclassical landmarks around Senate Square with contemporary Finnish design. Farther north, the Sámi are Finland’s only recognised Indigenous people, and their culture remains closely connected to the Arctic region. In winter, snow and ice transform the north; in summer, long daylight extends outdoor life well into the evening. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Finland.
