Finland

Finland... Take the biggest forest you can imagine. Then add some trees. More trees, much more trees. Then add some lakes and swamps. Swamps, where all the mosquitoes breed and happily grow up. Intelligent mosquitoes even, as they are clever enough to avoid the roads where they would be killed on the windscreens of the cars that drive through the forests. Instead they wait in the grass until tourists stop. And then it takes them about 3 minutes to locate you and gather for supper.
When you have all that, add some roads. Some of them with tarmac, some without. Not too many roads, just enough to connect the few villages and towns in the land. Got it? Well, that's Finland.
Oh, and when you want to tell your children, where Rudolf, the Reindeer is... He's here in Finland, visiting his family.

We were first a bit afraid to drive here, as we thought it would be very boring to drive for hours through the woods on endless roads. But actually, it is quite nice and doesn't look all the same all the time. But we just drive through it never the less. There are really too many mosquitoes to stay and camp more then one night.
