If you want to experience the beauty of autumn colors in Finland, this is the time to come and visit Lapland to see "ruska" for your own eyes! 🍁🍂
"Ruska" refers to the season when the foliage changes color before blanketing the ground. This is a favorite time for Finns to migrate north from all over the country, to breathe the purest air in the world and hear their own thoughts again. With the most wilderness in Finland, there’s nowhere quite like Lapland when the leaves start to turn. "Ruska" begins in early September when the days are almost equal parts day and night. Birches become golden sunbursts, and aspens blush like young lovers. This only lasts a few weeks, and during this time, the temperature continues its descent. Everything is gorgeous, urgent and stunning.
