Lahti:
Lahti is a Finnish city of 98,253 inhabitants (2003), bordering the Vesijärvi lake. It became a city in 1905. Originally a part of Hollola, it has since grown considerably larger than its current neighbor. The symbol of the city is a burning train wheel. The terrain is unusually hilly, the city being situated on a series of ridges created in the last glacial period.
Lahti is best known for its annually held winter games called "Salpausselän kisat". It is also a significant railroad crossroad and the site of two enormous radio masts, which once were a very important link in the Finnish radio network. The city endeavors for achievements in sports and culture, which has led to such things as the hosting of a World Games event and the building of a large congress & concert center, the Sibelius Hall.
