In the country of thousand lakes.
In the country of thousand lakes.
We continue to answer questions of our readers on a trip on
The domestic car to Europe. Today it will be a question about
The nearest our northern the neighbour.
To the good you get used quickly Just now to the full
You realise, how much before known events of last year a trip
On the car across Finland it was accessible to many our citizens.
Basically the rare had time to use this good fortune
To citizens. Basically had time to use this good fortune
Rare tranzitniki and pitertsy which was cheaper to have a rest on
The Finnish Baltic or lakes, than to Black sea to go. Has reached to
That inhabitants of St.-Petersburg and its vicinities of a steel
To remove dachki-cottages in a neighbouring country and to have a rest on the full
The coil on a bosom of the magnificent not dirtied nature.
This year similar travel will manage much more expensively. To
To regret, the rouble is not so equal to the Finnish stamp, and by this summer
It is not known, how with it will correspond - while expenses for journey
And residing have increased time in four.
Despite it, our readers are interested in the similar
Travel. One of them will drive all to steam of hundreds kilometres on
To the Finnish roads to capital to plunge on the ferry and to leave in
Germany (a part of the most safe recommended by us
Route). Others will want to remain far away from the Balkans and it is better
To learn the country of thousand lakes.
For trips across Finland it is not obligatory to have the international
The driver's licence - will descend also the national. Licence plate
Should not have slavic letters which cannot be identified
As Latin. Do not forget to attach a sign "RUS" on back glass
And to hide from a sin far away an antiradar - in many European
The countries they are forbidden.
Window to Europe do not search in St.-Petersburg for the normal roundabout
Road. Strangely enough, at the second Russian city it while is not present
- Probably, the former authorities prederzhashchie considered Peter's city only
Sea "a window to Europe". To go to you it is necessary through the centre, at
Desire and sight will have time to look.
In the summer will see, that such the well-known white nights. The sun
Unnaturally long hangs low over horizon, regularly shining
Road. Local residents will use gratuitous illumination also,
Late offering autotravellers to try wood berries. Not
Forget, admiring the nature to refuel under an outset in Peter, and in
Vyborg to add a tank.
Itself "a window to Europe" - automobile check
The point - carries prosaic name Torfjanovka. Turns here, on
To comparison with the Brest nightmare, even it is difficult to name turns.
It is a little cars, the truth, and the personnel too. As well as on
To any customs, be ready to everyones peresmenkam etc.
In advance prepare passports, fill the declaration (houses
It is necessary to consult well concerning resolved to export
Cash, against restriction of export from the currency country can
To be accepted a number of new decisions, as the recent statement about
The maximum export of 5 thousand dollars, is it is necessary to consider that who
Wish to buy the car abroad). The Same will do
At the Finnish customs - and you in Scandinavia.
Having driven some honeycombs of metres, you will see at the left the big
Supermarket and automatic round-the-clock refuelling (usually
The Finnish gas stations work from 7 o'clock till 21 o'clock). Distributing columns very much
Much, approach on any - over pistols all kinds are written
topliv.
Do not search "for seventy sixth" gasoline - it is not present in Europe. Litre
neetilirovannogo 95th costs from 5,35 to 5,70, diesel fuel
- From 3,30 to 3,45 Finnish stamps (now 5,53 Finnish stamps are equal
To one dollar). In general, roughly, gasoline litre - dollar. And
Present dollar, unfortunately, not that was one year ago. Even
The car with the most economic petrol engine "proest"
Good hole in your budget. It is better to go, of course, for
Boundary on the car with a diesel engine, but such domestic cars while
On fingers to count it is possible. More real exit - installation
Under a cowl of gas equipment.
Having filled a full tank (it is better to make it here, especially
tranzitnikam then not to lose time), pass in
Supermarket also pay off. Here it is possible to change at once also
Dollars and DM on the Finnish stamps. Remember properly
This supermarket. I do not know, how now, and earlier in him even roubles
Accepted. Besides, this shop is remarkable also that in
Him at goods purchase returned the VAT (that, return
Which only declare in many western countries, - on
To practice podi then find on a return way for point, where to you
Will give your blood).
Nostalgia on the sixtieth Having got under way in a way, do not forget
To switch on a passing light (it should be switched on even in the light
Time of days) also be fastened by seat belts. Here with it
Strictly. Besides, in Finland, as well as in other countries
Europe, the rule, on which the passengers sitting behind operates,
Too should be fastened seat belts.
By our cars in which structurally are not provided
Similar elements of passive safety, naturally, it is impossible
To observe this rule, therefore one hope of condescension
Traffic police. We have never faced such problem in
Finland, but it is necessary to mean this nuance.
Roads to Finland good, but narrow. If want as much as possible
Quickly to reach the planned point, do not plan a trip in
Weekend time. Having begun movement on the country, you get in
Kingdom of traffic signs with a yellow background which at us were to
The seventieth years. To puzzle and remember, with what speed
It is possible to move on each site of road, it is not necessary, therefore
That all way, renewing after each crossroads, you will be
To accompany signs with instructions of the resolved speed.
Signs with such abstract for us will come across also
The prevention, as "Elks!". It is difficult to us even to present,
Sites of roads which have attracted sohatym for are how much dangerous
Transitions from one part of the possession in another. And meanwhile in
Scandinavia elks and deer become the reason of hundreds hardest
Failures, especially in twilight - during liked time of migration of these
Animals. Imagine unexpected, for the speed blow in
Animal in length of 3 m, height 2,3 m and weight more than semiton!
Remember that to drunk drivers in Finland are applied
The strict sanctions. The admissible maintenance of alcohol in blood - 0,5
promille (for example, two bottles of beer of an average fortress). But it is better
Not to risk at all.
By the way, in Finland there is no dry law, as to us long years
It seemed. Simply alcohol is very expensive, and import in the country, as well as
Transit transportation, is limited (duty-free - one litre strong
Alcoholic drinks). Beer too very expensive. That who not
Thinks of itself in the summer without this drink, it is better to take a little
Bottles with itself.
What to look Semimillion Helsinki will meet you
Various architectural styles, not so wide streets,
Parks, the shops working in the summer even on Sunday. Very much
It is a lot of bicyclists, but they are not confused under wheels, and roll on
To the paths - even on very narrow sidewalks it takes away the lawful
Possession.
That who will decide not to be limited to sea coast and will go
Deep into to uncountable lakes, it is necessary not to forget to take the countries
Fishing tackles. Finns have so saved the nature, that
Even in the centre of the third city of the country - Tampere, in the river
Tammerkoski it is possible to catch a noble salmon.
In general, in this city it is necessary to be late, if you go with
Family. In Tampere there is a well-known aquapark "Edem", in which
All year long it is possible to bathe in 30-degree water and to go down with
80-metre hills. In the same place - Sjarkjanniemi, the most popular in
To the country the centre of leisure with a delphinarium, an amusement park and the highest in
Finland a viewing tower.
Your children with pleasure will visit a museum "Valley Mummi-trolej",
Where will meet liked characters of stories of the Finnish writer
To Tuva JAnssona. A museum have already visited about 700 thousand persons.
Begin visiting of Tampere with a bureau on tourism which is
In city centre (Verkatehtaankatu 2) in the house from a red brick.
In the summer it works: in everyday life from 8.30 till (on Saturday till 18.00),
On Sunday - from 11.00 till.
Employees of a bureau know Russian. They will offer you
Free maps and prospectuses.
In summary some words about hotels. A lack of them
No. But it is necessary to consider huge disorder of the prices for numbers even in
Nearby hotels - they can belong to the various
To hotel networks. For example, Cumulus or Rantasipi.
Tablets, flags, umbrellas at "Kumuljusov" the firm blue
Colours. Them it is visible from apart. "Rantasipi" distinguishes red colour, on
Signboards there is a firm logo: a head of a bird with the opened
Beak.
Hotels Cumulus are cheaper, than Rantasipi. Single rooms
Stand from 350 to 850 Finnish stamps, double - from 390 to 980
The Finnish stamps. The price fluctuates depending on from a class of rooms
(Their two) and hotel sites. Will most expensively manage
Numbers in "Kumuljuse" at the airport of Helsinki, are cheaper - in Innotel
Cumulus in Kotka. In the last it is better to stop tranzitnikam,
Going on the ferry (if it was not possible to spend the night on ours
Territories). It is located near to line п -18, in 7 km from the centre
Kotka, in Kargula (Karhula, Tilikuja 9).
However, probably, to you will carry, and you will find something more cheaply.
For example, hotel Hermica in Tampere offers residing from 160
The Finnish stamps with a breakfast, a morning and evening sauna!
Consider small nuance: the prices in hotels can be duplicated
In euro - do not confuse with dollars though their courses are close. And more. Not
Be too lazy to look in a hall booklets. In them it is specified not only
Hotel in which you have stopped, but also all network of similar hotels
With entrance schemes to them on the car.
