Today, this city ranks third in popularity among the country's population. Why do they attract this city, which was originally called the village? First of all, probably because the climate here is sufficiently soft and something similar to the sea. He attracts tourists not so much with a climate as its natural beauty and of course, attractions. About the attractions, and about the most interesting places, I want to write in more detail.

The length of the bridge is four hundred eighty meters. His width fifteen and a half meters, but the height is eleven meters. The main function of the Kooquulus bridge is to connect the two shores of the amazing and very picturesque Lake Yuvasyarvi. It is possible that this bridge and it would not be built here, however, at the end of the sixties in the seventies, a new area was formed in the eastern part of the city, which called Koookel, so to connect a new area with the central part of the city, it was decided to build this beautiful and very The right bridge.

National Park Pyhegy Hajki . This small park is in its size, does not suffer from lack of popularity and is popularly in the first place that forests are located on its territory, which is several hundred years. In 2004, with the oldest tree, which grew on the local expanses of five hundred years, was happening, - it died. It is a pity, of course, but there are many other no less old trees, which today feel just great. Forests in this park are considered virgin and all because the park is located on a wetland. For tourists, there are only two trails. A very interesting approach came up with local authorities in order to protect the ancient plantings from cutting down. But first things first. The fact is that on the shore of the beautiful Lake Kotayarvi, tourists are allowed to burn fires. How is this possible? - You will think, and you will be from the part of the right. Here in the fires, just all the trick. Cut down trees, it is categorically prohibited here. Collect the trust and break the branches, too. Do you think here you can bring your firewood? No, they did not guess. Firewood for breeding a fire, give here right on the spot. What happens in the end? And it turns out a very interesting and reasonable picture. Local authorities, thus, solve two problems at once. The first problem is the main, that is, protect the old forests. The second problem is no less important to keep clean, clean the forest from the dead trees and fallen branches. So, and solved local authorities these two problems at the expense of tourists. As a result, everyone is good and everyone is satisfied. The forests together with the ancient trees are preserved, in the reserve purity and order, tourists are glad and satisfied with the cheerful crackling of the fire on the lake. Firewood for the fire, by the way, is issued absolutely free. So, here! The saying that everything ingenious is actually simply, once again, justified itself.
