Hermit's hut on Koreakoivu island (also known as Harhu), lake Päijänne.
One of the islands within the Päijänne National Park, the island of Harhu used to be home to a famous fisherman Toivo Pylväläinen, also known as the “Hermi" of Lake Päijänne for many years.
He settled on the island in the mid 1930s and fished by net, hook and trailing. His natural curiosity and the need to support himself by fishing and selling fish in nearby Lahti were just a few factors which contributed to the fact that he began to make his own lures in the mid 1930s. He developed his own model which became a legend.
