Tag: Hanko

  • Yes! We’ve had so many nice sunny days so far and we really have been enjoying the spring.
    And it’s been coming fast. In Hanko (The most southern town of Finland) there’s almost no snow anymore!

    These pictures have been taken east from “Neljän tuulen tupa” cafeteria. There is area “Furuvik Nature preserve” (Furuvikin luonnonsuojelualue) where you can freely walk around and even take suntan but just don’t destroy anything from the nature.

  • Dagmar Spring

    It was such a wonderful weather today! I took my XR and rode west. I had few motocache missing from my found list. But first I took Mustio ironworks area because I wanted to make a new cache there!

    That is an old mining locomotive from 1903. Both vehicles are made in Germany.
    Then I continued on with some gravel-road riding. This time of the year they are in very good condition!

    Then finally I reached my destination very close to Hanko city (Most southern point of Finland). There is a spring that bubbles clear water all year. And this spring is famous because the wife of Russian tsar Alexander III wanted to stop here and drink many times on her boat trips in the gulf of Finland. Her name was Dagmar.
    The forrest around the spring is very nice!

    There are 2 different kind of stairs to the spring: The old stone stairs and the new wooden stairs.
