Kesävuoret

Kesävuoret is a locality in the municipality of Pyhtää, located in the Kymenlaakso region of Finland. It is situated near the coast of the Gulf of Finland and is characterized by its natural landscape, including forests and bodies of water. The area has a history of settlement, though it is primarily a rural and sparsely populated region today.

The name "Kesävuoret" translates to "Summer Mountains" in Finnish, though the terrain itself is not mountainous in the conventional sense. The name likely refers to the undulating, hilly nature of the landscape, which would have been particularly prominent and perhaps visually striking during the summer months.

Historically, the area has been utilized for forestry and agriculture. Like many rural Finnish areas, Kesävuoret has experienced a decline in its permanent population over the decades, with many residents moving to urban centers. However, it remains a place for summer cottages and recreational activities, attracting visitors who appreciate the Finnish nature. Proximity to the sea offers opportunities for boating and fishing during the warmer seasons. The administrative center of Pyhtää is accessible from Kesävuoret, providing local services to residents and visitors.
