Finland (Tourism video 4)

Finland enjoys some of the most extensive and unspoilt natural environment in Europe. It is sometimes referred to as the 'land of the thousand lakes', but in fact there were a total of 187,888 at the last count.

A veritable maze of inland waterways, with a profusion of bays, headlands and islands, sometimes opening out into broader waters, extends across the country but is especially dense across the eastern areas. The lakes are linked by rivers, straits and canals and offer opportunities for a variety of recreation.
