Kanta-Häme, Administrative region in southern Finland.

Tavastia Proper spans 5,706 square kilometers of Finnish territory, containing three municipalities and numerous lakes within the Kokemäenjoki water basin.

The region emerged from Stone Age settlements to become a strategic territory, documented in the Chronicle of Novgorod in 1042 during Prince Vladimir's military campaign.

The province maintains Finnish traditions through sahti brewing, a regional beer created from malted grains according to centuries-old methods.

Visitors access two national parks, Torronsuo and Liesjärvi, located in the southwestern section of Tammela municipality within the region.

The regional ecosystem features specific animal representatives: the Eurasian lynx, the osprey bird, and the carp bream fish.
