The Finnish travel association built the Pususilta (Kissing bridge) in the 1930’s as a shortcut from the hotel Finlandia to the Valtionhotelli. Most likely, the name derives from the romantic endearments, which the natural beauty of the surroundings inspires in couples crossing the bridge.
In 1983, the bridge was refurbished and ceremoniously opened to the public – with kisses, of course.
