Region South Ostrobothnia
What makes our region so special?
We like to think we have figured it out. In fact, Ostrobothnia is like Scotland in Great Britain – original in its culture, independent as to its attitude, colourful in its history.
The secret of our uniqueness lies both in the past and the present. It lurks in the hearts of the Ostrobothnian people, who are reputed to be upright, enterprising and proud of their traditions, dialect and achievements.
The horizon beyond the plains of Ostrobothnia seems to stretch further than anywhere else in Finland. Shimmering rivers wind through the lush countryside dotted with red ochre farms. In late summer, the fields turn golden and then silvery from the sparkling frost. This is the authentic Ostrobothnia that fills the observer with a sense of ease.
Ostrobothnia stands open for both the peace-seeking and the more adventurous visitor. Regardless of the type of holiday you prefer – luxury relaxation, sportive activities or cultural entertainment – you will find it all here. Keep our travelling tips in mind and enjoy the openhearted, Ostrobothnian hospitality.
