Hakumäki Location

“Hotel Vanajanlinna presents a compelling contrast: a historic castle transformed into a modern hotel, complete with an exceptional golf course. The setting by Lake Katumajärvi is undeniably peaceful, but the Linna Golf course is the real draw, and guests can balance rounds of golf with the hotel's other activities or spa. I think it's a very special place.”
