About Pyhäjärvi

Pyhäjärvi is a lake. Location: Pirkanmaa, Finland. Elevation: 69 m.

From Wikipedia

Pyhäjärvi (Finnish: [ˈpyhæˌjærʋi]) is a lake in southern Finland. Although the name means "holy lake" in modern Finnish, it probably originally meant "border lake". Pyhäjärvi is shaped like the letter C with the cities of Tampere and Nokia at the northern end, and the town of Lempäälä at the southern end. The lake is fed by the water running through the Tammerkoski rapids in the center of Tampere from the north, and by the waters from lake Vanajavesi in the south.
