Last week my Czech friends came to visit me and travel a little bit across the Finland. The plan was to stay 4 days in nature, sleep in cottages somewhere in a forest and do a lot of hiking trips. When I was packing my stuff I asked them, how much money will I need, because I had no idea how much does one night in a cottage cost. To my surprise, they said that accommodation in cottages is for free. I could not believe it, but it was really true!
Interpret:
My friends explained me, that there is a special
webpage, where you can see map of Finland and if you are looking for example for
a cottage where to spend night same as we did, you can just easily zoom this map,
find particular cottage on a particular place and get all the information you
need, like: how many beds are inside, if table, chairs, plates, mugs or electricity
is there and so on.
If you are interested, the link for the webpage is: https://retkikartta.fi/mobile/
Then it is just up to you which cottage will you choose to
stay in, there is no booking, so only thing is to hope, that no one else will
be there and at the same time. I could not believe, that this system works. But
it really works, because that cottage where me and my friends were, was
perfect! Everything what was written on the webpage that is inside the cottage
was there.
Evaluate:
It is a pity that this system is not in my
country or also in other countries, because I think, that if everyone could
stay night for free somewhere in a nature, people would spend more of their
free time by travelling, hiking and discovering new places, which could change
their lifestyle into more active way.
I really admire Finland for this.
