Local Food in Jyväskylä

The Local Culture Hostel & Café

Visitor’s experience
22.10.2018 At first when we finally got to Fiskars Village after four hours in a bus, it felt we had arrived almost into a different country. There was much more summery and warmer weather than in Jyväskylä where we left and most of the people that we heard speaking, spoke mostly Swedish. There were many animals […]

Sustainability and taste experiences in the autumnal Fiskars
22.10.2018 When we arrived in Fiskars it felt like being transferred to another time. The sense of a historical atmosphere was so real because of the old buildings and compact structure of the village. For a Finnish person who lives in central Finland it also felt like being abroad when you suddenly hear so many speaking […]
