Hollola, Municipality in Päijänne Tavastia, Finland

Hollola extends across 727 square kilometers of land in western Päijänne Tavastia, containing 44 lakes and numerous nature reserves with Lake Vesijärvi as its largest water body.

The establishment of Hollola as a municipality in 1865 marked its formal recognition within Finland's governmental structure, following centuries of settlement dating back to the Stone Age.

The municipality maintains Finnish traditions through regular events, including a biennial medieval fair and the production of traditional näkkileipä crackers in local establishments.

Located 111 kilometers from Helsinki and connected by Highway 12, Hollola provides visitors access to skiing facilities, hiking trails, and golf courses at the Messilä resort.

The Tiirismaa TV Tower stands as Finland's tallest structure, while the ancient fortress Kapatuosia remains as evidence of early defensive installations in the region.
