Sydänmaapaalut – 20 Poles, 20 Stories, and a Whole Lot of Fun in Vesanto

And guess what we did between every stop? 💖
We visited every single Sydänmaapaalu — all 20 of them, scattered throughout the Vesanto area!

It was such a fun little side adventure. Sometimes we found ourselves turning into someone’s yard, giggling as we read the quirky stories behind the poles. You can find the map of all pole locations here, and each pole has its own unique story, which you can read: https://vesanto.karttatiimi.fi/?link=aFhwT#.

We even found our favorites:
– the pole that had to be rebuilt after being burned down,
– the dog pole,
– and the eagle pole.
Kelsie’s favorite was the school pole, because she could ride it like a horse. 🐎

Has anyone else managed to visit all 20?
We have! ✔️

Thanks for the adventure, Vesanto — this was such a creative and heartwarming way to explore your community!
