Have you ever been to Finland? It's really pretty, in a kinda spartan way. Tall, narrow trees, rocky hills, bazillions of lakes. Fields now and then.
Also, Helsinki has this network of steam tunnels under the city, purportedly established during or shortly after WWII for security reasons, and so you'll be walking in the woods and you'll see this random door in a rock face, and it will be warm. And for the sort of grown-up kid who used to daydream about spies and secret passageways, this is *really* appealing. ;) (I actually had it one better in that I used to work in the central hospital here; like many hospitals it's full of basement tunnels, only these also hook into the citywide network. Not that I ever got to sneak in, but it was still neat to know that they were *right there*.)
