This is a reminder of an old train that used to connect Fiskars to the outside world, however, these days there is no train station in town and you will have to use the bus service or drive a car to get here.

Fiskars is not a place that you'll see in travel guided or where you can noticed while travelling in Finland. It's located in beutiful valley in South Finland and it's not that near big motor ways.......
