Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 23 reviews
The communication centre of the Finnish army's headquarters, which was located in Mikkeli, was known by the code name, Lokki, which means "seagull" in Finnish. During the Continuation War of 1941-1944, the Lokki Communication Centre was based in a cave blasted into the side of Naisvuori hill. It handled the headquarters' telephone and telex traffic. The adjacent cave housed the regional air surveillance centre, the signalling station for the German link-up garrison and the sleeping quarters for the communication centre's staff. In addition, the cave contained working premises for Commander-in-Chief Mannerheim and his immediate subordinates. In the early 1990s, the Lokki Communication Centre's premises were skillfully restored to their appearance during the Continuation War.

Ollinmaki winery is situated right next to the main road 62 in the village of Anttola in Mikkeli municipality. Ollinmaki winery combines a fully functional winery and a tourism company. We have built a wine cellar, souvenir and wine shop and a restaurant in an old palatial stone barn. We bring together domestic berries and Central European wine making skills and then add some Finnish flair for innovation. After all, we were one of the first wineries in Finland when we began work in 1995. As our guests, you will be acquainted with wine making and get to taste awarded drinks that have been prepared from real Finnish farm products. At Ollimaki, you can buy wines, eat, drink and celebrate. We are there for you throughout your entire holiday to share interesting stories of the scenery, culture and nature of our region.
