Palojoki

Palojoki (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈpɑloˌjoki]; literally "fire river") is a village of about a thousand inhabitants in Nurmijärvi, Finland.

The area of the village is about 50 km2 and its highest point (Haukkaankallio)[1] is about 50 m above sea level.

Palojoki is home to one of the nationally significant built cultural environments defined by the Finnish Heritage Agency.

The most famous resident of Palojoki is the Finnish national author Aleksis Kivi (1834–1872), whose birthplace currently serves as a museum.

By the way, I want to tell you in advance that Nurmijärvi, for the sake of nature rather than art, cannot offer you anything interesting: no views, no plateaus and valleys in romantic groupings; and yet these regions are the most wonderful to me on earth; such a power of enchantment is in the memories of childhood.
