The earliest mention of Jurmo Island can be found in a 13th-century Danish itinerary describing the sailing route from Denmark to Tallinn. The rocky and sandy shallow island is the third extension of the Salpausselkä ridge, which stretches from Hämeenlinna to Angelniemi. However, between the harbor and the village rises a 18-meter-high rock called Högberget. From there, you can enjoy breathtaking views in all directions and even find lichen-covered reminders of the country's defense.

RAUTAA & ROJUA – the antidote to beauty clichés

The Science Term Bank defines beauty as an aesthetic quality that is generally considered a type of aesthetic value. According to the philosopher Plato, beauty is a true reality that can be understood by reason, but whose imperfect reflections can also be perceived by the senses. Aristotle, on the other hand, defended the principle of purposefulness. The opposite of these views is that beauty is a purely subjective value, i.e., beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Also ugliness is in the eye of the beholder. Decadent romanticism, the beauty of ugliness, is an ideological movement that emerged in the late 18th century. According to this movement, an object can be perceived as beautiful simply because looking at it gives pleasure.
