@just42tube it would have been on my list but we were finding open water quite cold (even for August). My friend wanted to swim in lakes. Having said that Marynummi was the coldest of them all and it was the smallest and shallowest lake. I don't understand. 🤷♂
@@laterlife2931 I have lived in the Salpausselkä region where small lakes can get their water from groundwater springs. Those stay fairly cold no matter what the weather is.
@@laterlife2931 I have studied swedish in my youth but haven't used it enough to retain any significant skills. I can still understand it, mostly. I have worked in Swedish companies a couple of times in my life. So I should have learned, but didn't really. Learning languages has always been difficult for me.
@@laterlife2931 The largest underground aquifer, hidden inside the First Salpausselkä in Hollola, is one of the largest in Finland. In places, the groundwater becomes visible in the clearwater natural springs and groundwater-fed lakes and brooks. I used to live a short distance from such groundwater-fed lakes.
Your question reminded me about a taxi trip a long time ago. I had been in a Nordic meeting in Köpenhamn. I shared a taxi to the airport with a Norwegian college, who knew I was from Finland. He seemed to believe that all Finns have to at least understand skandinaviska with a Norsk accent or coloring. I had to remind him several times on our way to the airport that I really don't speak skandinaviska and don't understand all dialects or accents either.
I really liked this video and that you showed places that are less touristy. Thank you!
@lassi-m4i thanks for watching. Glad you liked it.
What a lovely video.. wonderful to see places slightly off the tourist routes. May have to revisit this video before my next visit!
@christinedowney thanks for watching. I plan to make more videos about the places in southwest Finland to get the word out. 😄
You omitted my childhood home town, Hanko .😢
Hanko (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈhɑŋko]; Swedish: Hangö)

@just42tube are you a Swedish speaker?

I have a confession to make. I have never visited Fiskars.😮
@just42tube I am shocked! I try to go at least twice per year.

What is it that makes you revisit it?

@@just42tube I have no plans to learn any other languages at my age. But I am restarting Finnish next month. 🙄

But you are a boy compared to my age.
Don't use your age as an excuse. Doesn't work with me.😄
