Merenkurkun saariston maailmanperintöalue tarjoaa elämyksiä ympäri vuoden » Merenkurkun saaristo

Merenkurkku / Kvarken archipelago, Finland. Known for its unique geological situation. The seabed is one of world's fastest to rise up from the sea, 1 cm/year, after last ice age. It makes new islands outside Finland all the time. The fishermen have difficulties to navigate between those and a big part of the western coastline of Finland is moving far out to the sea. The mainland is increasing. Listed on the UNESCO Heritage List in both Sweden and Finland.

The sea buckthorn thrives on sunny exposed beaches. The acidic orange berries are extremely rich in vitamin C. - Ostrobothnia province of Western Finland. Pohjanmaa photo Eero Murtomäki

Finnish cuisine - Wikipedia

Various species of mushrooms grow plentiful in Finnish forests & false morels that start the season in spring are used in creamy dishes. Chanterelles & ceps pop up after Midsummer & are popular in the whole country, while in eastern Finland almost all edible fungi are consumed, including milkcaps and russulas. Most of the mushroom recipes originate from Russia, since Finns used mushrooms in coloring fabrics rather than as food. Mushrooms are used in soups, sauces, stews & pie fillings.
