Page "Kangasala" Paragraph 5

A spa was built by the Kuohu Spring which was a little later followed by a separate restaurant and hotel building.

Even people from more distant places came to refresh themselves there, preferably at least once a year.

At the same time travelers had a good chance to exchange news, discuss with each other and find out about the latest trends of fashion.

Spa tourism can probably be considered a predecessor of modern holidaymaking.

At that time, however, it was primarily a pastime of the noble and the prosperous bourgeoisie only.
