Oddly enough, 'Varkaus' translates to 'theft', even though it is not the reason for giving that name to the city. In old Finnish the same word also meant strait, and this city is located in the lake district on straits between two parts of Lake Saimaa. An extension of the Saimaa Canal passes through the town.HistoryVarkaus was born in the late 19th Century as an industrial community of the A. Ahlström paper mills. It was a part of the municipalites of Leppävirta and Joroinen until 1929 when Varkaus became a market town. During the Finnish Civil War in 1918 the town was taken over by the Reds, but because of its isolated location in rural Finland, it was soon taken by the Whites on the Battle of Varkaus 19–21 February. The whites proceeded to execute every tenth Red soldier.Our Finland trip itinerary maker app allows you to schedule your trip to Varkaus, learn about its attractions, and find out about where else to go during your holiday.
