An overview of Valkeakoski

1 Conversation

Valkeakoski is a town in Finland, Europe. It is rather small, but still well known in Finland for it's football (soccer) team, which has been very succesful in the past years. Another thing Valkeakoski is known for is the industry there. There are several paper factories there, and one of the biggest paper companies in Europe has it's HQ there.

A direct translation of the name of the town, "Valkeakoski", would be "white rapid", which is somewhat ironic, because the industry causes the town to have grey snow instead of white in the winter, plus gives the air an aroma most people don't enjoy.
