Hyvärilä Camping

Very nice campsite. They have an ADAC 2006 campsite sticker on the wall of their office.
Very spacy, the public sauna is open on tuesdays, thursdays and saturdays from 6 - 9 p.m.
Nice, big and clean facilities. Close to a golf course, this should be one of the best golf course in Finland.
You should stay some days there, because there are many things to do and to see. You can walk on some hiking trail. Very close to Bomba (1,5 km).
There are some ski trails for winter. But close to the campsite is also a summer jump, there some crazy finish guys do some ski jumping into the water (they call it "freestyle")...
Costs 13 EUR for 2 persons and 1 tent. Very good value! Greetings to the guys from ADAC. Nice choice.

Bomba

Bomba is in Ritoniemi, a part of Nurmes, ca. 2 km away from the city center to the east. This small village (constructed in 1978) is some kind of museum and also a spa ressort. They built some big old house in an traditional way. And this is also very the name "Bomba" comes from Jegor Bombin, a Russian, who constructed the biggest house in that style many many years ago.
The spa ressort has a nice terrace, there you can drink a cold beer. You can buy it in the restaurant and they will fill the beer in a plastic cup. It is not allowed to take the beer to the beach. But there is a nice view over the lake Pielinen.
