Tammela suits sauna-cottage stays near Torronsuo National Park, a raised bog with boardwalks and a 17-metre tower, in southern Finland. The homes are scattered across a large rural municipality, so everything involves a drive.
Tammela is a rural municipality in the Kanta-Häme region, home to about 5,800 people and covering more than 700 square kilometres, around 75 of them water. The homes are scattered across it rather than gathered in one village. Nearly all have a sauna, and they are mostly small, for four or five people. Torronsuo National Park, a raised bog of 25.5 square kilometres, is the main outing, with boardwalks of one and ten kilometres. In winter, ski tracks are marked across the bog. The park's only parking area and trailhead sit on Kiljamo island, beside route 282.
A raised bog north of Torro village with a 17-metre observation tower. Its only trailhead is on Kiljamo island, beside route 282.
The second national park inside Tammela municipality, so two protected areas lie within the same rural district.
A neighbouring town where various museums occupy the old textile factory.
A neighbouring town, home to Häme Castle, with the Aulanko nature park also in the region for walks.
Helsinki is the gateway: the drive from Helsinki to Tammela takes around an hour and a half. A car is the sensible choice, as the homes are spread across a rural municipality and Torronsuo's only trailhead sits beside route 282.
Torronsuo is a raised bog with boardwalks of one and ten kilometres, a 17-metre observation tower on Kiljamo island, and about a hundred nesting bird species, some of them northern species almost absent elsewhere in southern Finland.
Yes, cross-country ski tracks are marked across the bog in winter. The park's only parking area and trailhead is on Kiljamo island, along route 282, and the park lies north of Torro village.
Around an hour and a half by car. That makes a sauna stay workable on the day you land in Helsinki, though your home may sit further along local roads within the municipality.
Tammela borders Forssa, Hämeenlinna, Jokioinen, Karkkila, Lohja, Loppi, Somero and Urjala. Forssa and Hämeenlinna are the two with sights for visitors, including Häme Castle in Hämeenlinna.
