    　It is located about 30 minutes by car from the University of Jyvaskyla wooden church. In Finland's oldest wooden church is a world heritage site. Is quietly nestled in the Woods, very nice. While not everything is wooden. Incidentally, I is buried under the deceased to church. Inside the Church was a unique carved wooden decorations. Great location and staff.

    The church is really nice, something that you rarely would see somewhere else as it is entirly made with wood.
