The municipality of Perho lies in the heart of Finland. Perho offers good opportunities to get acquainted with the diversity of Finland´s nature. The National park of Salamajärvi is located in the northeastern part of Perho and is one of the biggest nature reserves of Southern Finland. The backpack trail, "Peuran Polku" runs through The Salamanperä nature park. While walking along the trails you can come across with all sorts of animals that live in the forest. There are also areas for hunting, fishing, mushrooming and picking wild berries. Perho´s warm atmosphere welcomes you to our small yet outgoing village. Accommodation is not a proplem in Perho. There is a variety of possibilities,from luxurious log cabins to a cozy recreation center. People of Perho have a very strong sense of unity. Sharing thoughts and being together is considered important among us. Perho´s history is well represented in the museum of local arts and culture. The church, which was designed by Walter Thome, is located nearby the museum. It was finished in 1903 and is an excellent example of jugend-style. Many battles of the Finnish war were fought in Perho in the beginning of the 19th century. When you walk about in Perho you might bump into Arsi Harju, the olumpic winner in men´s shot put. In Perho you can truly sense the tranquility and the fullness of living. When listening to the holler of swans, or looking at the deer that roam in the bogs, one can forget the hectic lifestyle that is so typical of this modern society of ours.
