My name is Timo Aunio, alias Tarinataituri. I am at your service, when you need a guide in Lohja. I worked as a classroom teacher for 38 years. Writing, photographing and making films have been my hobbies since childhood. I have made several films and written many kinds of texts. You can watch some of my videos in Youtube  https://www.youtube.com/@tarinataituri and read my blogs here (only in Finnish): tarinataituri.blogspot.com  

In 2017 I completed the course of Authorised Tourist Guide in Lohja. My favourite targets in Lohja are Tytyri Mine Experience, the medieval Church of St Lawrence and above all Sammatti, the little village where Elias Lönnrot was born, lived and died. There are lots of  interesting places to visit in Lohja.

Welcome with Tarinataituri in Lohja and Sammatti to learn more about Elias Lönnrot, the famous Finnish doctor, botanist and writer, who compiled the Finnish national epic Kalevala. We can visit the little Paikkari Croft, where Elias Lönnrot was born, the Lammi House, where he lived his last years and finally Sammatti Church and cemetery, where Lönnrot is buried.

See You in Lohja and Sammatti!
