mökkissä

Mökkissä is a Finnish term that translates to "at the summer cottage." It refers to the experience of being at a summer cottage, a traditional and cherished part of Finnish culture. These cottages are typically located in rural areas, often by lakes or in the archipelago, and serve as a retreat from urban life. The concept of mökkissä embodies relaxation, connection with nature, and a slower pace of living.

Activities commonly associated with mökkissä include swimming, fishing, boating, hiking, and enjoying saunas. Barbecues and spending time outdoors are also integral. The summer cottage season is a significant period for many Finns, with families and friends gathering to enjoy the long daylight hours and the tranquility of the countryside. The simplicity and self-sufficiency often found at cottages are key aspects of the mökkissä experience. It is a time for unplugging from technology and reconnecting with oneself and loved ones.
