Lohja: Tie 1 - Tervakorpi, puomi länsi - Tervakorpi
Lohja combines lakeside calm with the pace of a well-connected town in a way that reflects its position in southern Finland. Lake Lohjanjärvi gives the town a shoreline setting amid wooded, rocky terrain. The E18 corridor links Lohja with Helsinki and Turku, while the surrounding landscape retains the exposed bedrock and forests typical of Uusimaa. In the old centre, the medieval Church of St Lawrence is known for its extensive wall paintings, a major reminder of Lohja’s long-established parish. Orchards and apple growing are also closely associated with the area, celebrated each year at Lohja’s Apple Carnival.

The lake-dotted, forested terrain around Lohja has shaped both the town’s compact urban form and its local economy. Lake Lohjanjärvi lies immediately beside the centre, while fertile soils and a comparatively mild southern Finnish climate have long supported orchards and market gardening; Lohja is particularly associated with apple growing. The medieval Church of St Lawrence, known for its extensive wall paintings, is among the town’s most important cultural landmarks. Lohja also stands within easy reach of the Helsinki region while retaining a distinctly lakeside setting in Uusimaa.

The terrain of Uusimaa ranges from a low, island-dotted coast in the south to wooded uplands and lake country in the north, binding Finland’s capital region to the Gulf of Finland. Helsinki, the national capital, is its urban centre, while the coast extends through the municipalities of Espoo and Porvoo. Suomenlinna, the sea fortress off Helsinki and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recalls Sweden’s 18th-century rule; the medieval Porvoo Cathedral and old town add another historic strand. Inland, Nuuksio National Park protects a mosaic of forest, lakes and rocky terrain close to the metropolitan area.

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.
