Staying in a windowless hotel room in the capital region currently costs around 200 euros per night.

On the surface, the hotel room looks ordinary: a wide bed, decorative pillows, a desk and beautifully falling, long curtains.

The specialness of the room is revealed behind the curtains – there is no window here.

The illusion of space is created with the help of a light wall, which is decorated with a Finnish forest landscape.

The allure of novelty on Kimola’s channel has dissipated.

This summer, there were fewer boaters on the canal on the border between Iiti and Kouvola than ever before. This year, between May and September, 1180 closures were made on the channel. Closures are made when boat traffic passes through the canal closure.

The number of closures fell by about a third compared to last summer. In 2021, there were 1,669 closures.

In addition to jet skis and regular motorboats, inland water cruisers operate in the canal.
