Karkkila, town in the region of Uusimaa in Finland

Karkkila is a municipality in Uusimaa, Finland, with a population of around 9,000 residents. The town developed around limestone quarrying and paper manufacturing, which shaped its layout and built environment.

The town emerged in the late 1800s as an industrial center focused on limestone extraction and papermaking. These industries were crucial to its growth and shaped the local economy for generations.

The town is accessible year-round, though winters bring cold temperatures and limited daylight. Summer and early autumn offer milder weather and longer days, making these seasons ideal for exploring.
