I saw my mom today in Hyrylä, and on the way back wanted to drop in for a swim, and visit a swimming place that I remembered from my childhood: Rusutjärvi in Tuusula.
I have to say I didn't remember any of details. It is a beautiful lake, a very nice swimming spot.
If it weren't for the blue-green algae, that is. Sadly, there was a sign about that, and recommendation to check the situation. Yet there were no actual visible signs of the problem in the water, so I did a quick swim. All good. Or, at least no symptoms yet :-)
The Rusutjärvi swimming beach is at N 60.42970 E 24.98897.
