10 reasons for visiting the Jyväskylä Region

1. An ideal destination or stopover. Jyväskylä is right in the centre of Finland, en route to everywhere.

2. Jyväskylä holds a world record which won’t be easily broken: Jyväskylä is home to more buildings designed by master architect Alvar Aalto than any other city in the world.

3. Petäjävesi Old Church and Oravivuori triangulation tower are both Unesco world heritage sites located in the Jyväskylä Region.

4. Staged in Jyväskylä, Neste Oil Rally Finland has frequently been voted the best organised round in the World Rally Championship calendar.

5. Jyväskylä’s pedestrian precinct – acclaimed as Finland’s best – is flanked by busy shopping centres and attractive boutiques.

6. Endless opportunities for sport and outdoor recreation – for instance Rantaraitti, the illuminated 10 km path that circles Lake Jyväsjärvi, was voted Road of the Year in 2005 and is used extensively by walkers, joggers and cyclists.

7. In the Jyväskylä Region boaters and fans of lake cruises are really in their element. Finland’s second largest lake, Päijänne, begins just outside the city centre and stretches a long way south.

8. The Jyväskylä Region is the heart of traditional Finnish sauna culture. The floating sauna that sails Lake Jyväsjärvi and the world’s biggest smoke sauna with room for 150 people are examples of the region’s unique and exotic sauna options.

4) Toivolan Vanha Piha – the sound of traditional craftsmen at workThe craftsmen’s courtyard established in the 1800s has been given a new lease of life. The courtyard’s boutiques sell items made in the nearby workshops; relax in the café and listen to the sound of artisans at work. The Museum of Central Finland’s craftsmen’s houses provide a flavour of times past.

5) Jyväskylä market place – a friendly place to shop and meetOn the market place Jyväskylä locals meet up in the covered cafés and while shopping for their daily fruit and veg. The noise and bustle of the market are best enjoyed on a warm summer’s day holding an ice cream.

6) Naissaari – the roar of the rapidsFlanked on both sides by rapids, atmospheric Naissaari – a river island featuring traditional wooden houses – is located in the Jyväskylä suburb of Vaaja-koski. This historic area is home to a café, the Vaajakoski lock on the Keitele canal, the Wanha Woimala (Old Power Station) summer art exhibitions, a summer theatre, a giftware shop, a bathing beach and more.

A city shrouded in darkness,

but pulsating to the rhythm set by the

Trilogy of Light installation. The combina-

tion of mystical light and magical music is

totally arresting.

When you look around, you see culture everywhere The architecture of world-famous Finnish architect Alvar Aalto stands out proudly in the streets of Jyväskylä. In addition to Aalto’s masterpieces the foundation stones of Finnish culture can be seen wherever you roam in the Jyväskylä Region. The region’s churches, exhibitions in museums and galleries, as well as first-class performances of theatre, dance and music are sure to leave a lasting impression.

These have to be seen!• The Jyväskylä Region can offer quality theatre and dance productions. Dance performances

of the highest calibre are arranged by the Dance Centre of Central Finland, for instance. Further details of theatre productions can be found on page 11.

• For those interested in architecture Jyväskylä is a real mecca. In addition to 15 Alvar Aalto locations there’s a chance to admire the designs of Wivi Lönn, Finland’s first woman architect.

• Two sites included in Unesco’s world heritage list are located in the Jyväskylä Region. Further details on page 12.

• The small galleries and museums are absolute musts for art enthusiasts. For art exhibitions, why not visit the Wanha Woimala (old power station) on the river island of Naissaari or Galleria Ratamo in the centre of Jyväskylä? At Design Alonen’s gallery you get to experience what art looks like in an old railway carriage.

• The range of museums is so broad it pays to set aside plenty of time. Craft skills and design are showcased at the Alvar Aalto Museum and Craft Museum of Finland. The Museum of Central Finland in turn provides great insights into the history of the province.

• The cradle of Finnish education is undoubtedly Jyväskylä’s Seminaarinmäki, which is Finland’s oldest campus area. It was here that in 1863 Uno Cygnaeus established a Finnish-language teacher training college, which produced Finland’s first women teachers. Just a few years earlier Wolmar Schildt founded Finland’s first Finnish-language secondary school in Jyväskylä.

Get a double helping of culture:

enjoy a play or concert at Jyväskylä City

Theatre designed by Alvar Aalto.

Unesco world heritage sites – real showstoppers 1) Petäjävesi Old Church – masterpiece of construction in wood

Petäjävesi Old Church was completed in 1765 and gained inclusion in Unesco’s world heritage list as a prime example of Nordic wooden architec-ture in 1994. The church is a masterful demonstration of durable construc-tion in wood. Legend has it that the church, like the chapel that stood earlier on the same spot, was built without permission. Small farmers in the area were not prepared to wait for approval from the Stockholm cathedral chapter and erected the cruciform church in 1763 in just 35 days.

2) Oravivuori triangulation tower – 19th century research station In Korpilahti, on the top of Oravivuori hill, stands a triangulation tower. It is one of six points in Finland in the Struve chain. The chain in question is a triangulation chain stretching from the Black Sea to the Arctic Ocean which was used in the 1800s to establish the earth’s shape. On this spot a triangulation tower has been erected to commemorate the importance of the Oravi-vuori (or Puolakka) measuring station to the mapping of Finland. Further information on Oravivuori tel. +358 40 582 5105, +358 400 712 085.

Let your gaze roam when visiting

these Unesco world heritage sites. Just

how would it feel to stand in a nineteenth

century scientist’s shoes and ponder the

shape of the earth with the help of the

Struve chain?

Toivolan Vanha Piha – Toivola Old CourtyardAt Toivolan Vanha Piha nine-teenth century tales and tradition meet the present day. Buildings dating from the era of smith Herman Toivola and the Museum of Central Finland’s craftsmen’s homes – the Coppersmith’s House and Carpenter’s House – with their associated activities have brought this wooden courtyard into fresh blossom. In the spirit of Herman Toivola – dubbed an industrialist even by some – once again a variety of items are being produced for the enjoyment of both townspeople and visitors. In the maternity hospital and Toivola’s own house visitors can watch craftsmen at work and buy their products. A pleasant café, Muisto, will be opened at a later date. A smith’s workshop also operates in the courtyard. At the site the Museum of Central Finland offers advice on renovation, study visits and much more.

In the spring of 2013 the focus of attention is customized bicycles. In summer and towards the end of the year exquisitely made craft items enjoy centre stage, while the whole family can participate in craft activities in one of the many workshops. The fascinating permanent exhibition Craft: A Touch of Life has its own audio paths for children and adults, and in the ‘Aistitila’ let your senses guide you: touch, smell and even taste. At the National Costume Centre Finnish national costumes impress with their range of colour. At Paja (work-shop) on the museum’s second floor try out some craft activities for the price of your admission fee (we make a small charge for materials). The museum shop stocks an extensive range of quality Finnish craft products and new design gems. The museum is open Tue–Sun 11–18. Prices: adults 6 €, free admission for under 18s and on Fridays.

Neste Oil Rally Finland– More than a rally.

The Finnish round of FIA’s World Rally Championship calendar, Neste Oil Rally Finland, has traditions extending as far back as 1951. Just like its predecessors, this international motorsport event is already a legend in its own time. Previously known in Finnish as Jyväskylän Suurajot and more widely as Rally of the 100 Lakes, it is famous for its super-fast gravel roads, breathtaking jumps and fantastic lake scenery. The event is one of the largest in the Nordic countries in terms of spectators, and also in terms of entries ranks as a heavyweight in the WRC calendar. Frequently voted the best rally in the world championship, the event annually brings thrills and spills to over 270 000 onlookers.

Neste Oil Rally Finland 2013 will again be staged in late summer, 31.7.–3.8.2013. Visit the Jyväskylä Region and enjoy the atmosphere at the world’s finest WRC event!

Brilliant City of Light!

As the evenings draw in the City of Jyväskylä shines brightly and beautifully. At the darkest time of the year dozens of permanently illuminated locations enhance the city’s architecture and create an atmosphere that is unique, safe and attractive to the eye.

Jyväskylä is a pioneer in Finnish urban illumination and simultaneously the interna-tional Cities of Light association’s northernmost member. Skillfully designed and implemented, the city’s illumination has won accolades also at the global level: Jyväskylä won the international urban illumination city.people.light award. The criteria for the competition win included ecological sustainability alongside aesthetic impression. Carefully considered lighting solutions reduce light pollution, save energy and provide a foundation, for instance, for expanding tourism and business in the lighting branch.

One of the most exciting City of Light happenings is the Light Trilogy show combining light, sound and images in a unique manner staged regularly on the facade of Jyväskylä Lyceum throughout the autumn, winter and spring. The city already has over 80 other magnificent permanently illuminated sites. The newest of these are presented at the City of Light event organised each autumn.

Discover our illuminated sites on one of the guided walking tours arranged by Jyväskylä Region Tourist Information!

Down on the jetty life is tranquil. Päijänne’s harbours await you.

Jyväskylä harbour in LutakkoLocated on the shore of Lake Jyväsjärvi, Lutakko harbour is the northernmost passenger harbour on Lake Päijänne with regular services in summer to Lahti, Jämsä, Suolahti and Laukaa.

Hiking

As your feet get tired, the mind gets fresher. For this reason exploring and experiencing nature is the best counterbalance to the demands of everyday life. Every municipality possesses a number of signposted nature trails and routes that crisscross the varied landscape of the region.

Scenic routes in the city, the depths of the forest, and way up high1) Laukaa’s Metso Trail stretching over dozens of kilometres doesn’t

have to be covered in one go – take advantage of the many lean-to shelters to be found along the route.

2) Korpilahti’s magnificent Vaaruvuori hills are home to 70 endan-gered species.

3) From the summit of Korpilahti’s Oravivuori, 193 metres above sea level, a landscape unfolds which just can’t be missed.

4) Fans of urban hiking should head for Jyväskylä’s Rantaraitti path, which circles Lake Jyväsjärvi. It offers natural surroundings, physical recreation and culture in just the right proportions.

In summer the nursery is Viherlandia’s heart. Even if there is no need to give your garden a new look, a visit to our nursery is bound to get you thinking. Trees, bushes, perennials, seedlings and many other plants provide the inspiration to plan a new layout for the garden – and we also have the decorative items to finish the job.

Remember to take a look at Kivimaa, too, where a selection of patio stones, paving slabs and much, much more can be found.Viherlandia also features an Iittala outlet. Come and pick up a bargain! We stock some of Finland’s best known brands: Arabia, Fiskars, Hackman and Iittala.
