Travel time: 8 days

The steep slopes and terraced vineyards of Lavaux on the northern shores of Lake Geneva form one of the best-known wine producing regions of Switzerland. The Lavaux appellation area is 830 hectare and spread over 23 communities between Lausanne and Chateau de Chillon past Montreux in Villeneuve. Visitors can enjoy fantastic views of the vineyards, Lake Geneva, and the Alps.
Terraces have been protected by UNESCO since 2007.

Lavaux on viininviljelyalue Sveitsissä Vaud’n kantonissa, Genevejärven pohjoisrannalla. Alueeseen kuuluu 830 hehtaaria pengerrettyjä viljelmiä, jotka benediktiini- ja sisterssiläismunkit rakensivat noin 800 vuotta sitten. Pengerrys ja järvestä heijastuva säteily ovat luoneet lähes Välimeren seutua muistuttavan suotuisan mikroilmaston ja aluetta kutsutaankin  oikeutetusti Sveitsin Rivieraksi. Täällä myös Freddie Mercury, Charlie Chaplin ja Mannerheim nauttivat elämästä vanhemmilla vuosillaan.. Alue on Unescon maailmanperintökohde.

Karijoki, Finland

Greetings from Karijoki.
Karijoki is a municipality of Finland.

It is located in the province of Western Finland and is part of the Southern Ostrobothnia region. The population of Karijoki is 1,363 (March 31, 2016) and the municipality covers an area of 185.77 km2 (71.73 sq mi) of which 0.78 km2 (0.30 sq mi) is inland water.  The population density is 7.34/km2 (19.0/sq mi). The municipality is unilingually Finnish. 

Karijoki Lutheran church was built in 1812, is is also called Helena's church. According to the legend a girl named Helena extinguished the fire in the church during the Finnish War. The enemy had put the fire under the sacristy. 

The Wolf Cave (Susiluola) is Karijoki’s main attraction for tourists and locals. This is a geological result after million years of climate changes. It consists on a wide horizontal fissure of the rock and it is named after its location on Wolf Mountain (Susivuori). This has a very important impact on the Scandinavian prehistory studies because investigators are convinced that the Neanderthal men habitated this cave.
