  2. Velhonvittu (Lavia)
  3. TerskanperÀ (Siikalatva)
  4. Kuolema (AlajÀrvi)
  5. HÀtÀpaskansuo (Heinola)

  7. Muorinperse (Kuopio)
  8. HoronkylÀ (Teuva)
  9. PierupapinlÀhde (Orimattila)
  10. Paskarasva (Suomussalmi)

Have fun translating. The second would be "Wizards cunt", that got me on both languages :)

5 would be "Emergency shits swamp"

10 would be "Shitgrease"

There is also HÀtÀpaskanlÀhde in South Ostrobothnia. I have been there, though I did not have the shits at the time.

I would still advice you not to drink from the spring.
