Manage episode 504294172 series 3348018
The most fascinating nations in Northern Europe—Finland. Known for its pristine landscapes, innovative culture, and deep traditions, Finland is often called the “Land of a Thousand Lakes.” But as we’ll uncover, Finland is much more than its lakes—it’s a story of resilience, beauty, and balance between nature and modernity.
Finland sits in Northern Europe, bordered by Sweden to the west, Norway to the north, and Russia to the east, while the Baltic Sea lies to the south. This strategic position has shaped Finland’s culture, trade, and history, making it both Scandinavian and distinctly unique.
With over 188,000 lakes and forests covering about 75% of its land, Finland is one of the greenest countries on Earth. This abundance of nature has not only defined Finnish culture but also earned it a reputation for being one of the cleanest, most sustainable environments in the world.
