About Kiveriö
What are the main landmarks in Kiveriö?
Kiveriö is a place to live, not to tour. What pulls visitors lies below: the Vesijärvi waterfront down toward Niemi, the downtown Lahti museums, and the Salpausselkä ridge crossing the whole city. Möysä and Kivimaa next door keep the same residential calm.
What is the history of Kiveriö?
Kiveriö rose with the city's mid-century growth. After Lahti was chartered in 1905, the regional capital of Päijät-Häme reached over the Salpausselkä esker onto the north-eastern rise, laying out the apartment blocks and gardens that now sit beside Kivimaa.
Where is Kiveriö?
Kiveriö stands on Lahti's north-eastern heights. Its neighbour Kivimaa lies just inland, Niemi reaches toward the Vesijärvi shore to the north, and Möysä rounds out the eastern edge, the four districts sharing the upper ground that falls away toward the lake.
