And Nuuksio, less than an hour from Helsinki centre: http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma...8wko1_1280.jpg

And as everything else is at an elevation of like 4 metres, you don't need very high hills to make an appearance.

Interesting white dashed lines on either side of road. Here it's solid white. Is there a specific meaning for them?
nah, still too cold for my tastes. in late july/early august the water temperature is usually more comfortable.
i think it means that you're allowed to cross them to facilitate overtaking.

Western Europe is a pretty big area to make a statement like that. I'm sure there are places with complete isolation & spread out hills. No?
Sure there must be places where you'll be quite isolated, but nothing comes close to, say, Wyoming. Maybe a lodge in Scotland would be fine?

That one is 11 miles from the main road. Though you'd have to close the hotel.

Netherlands flat? Stereotypes...

The Helvetinjärvi pic looks familiar!
