Is there a real location that resembles Moominvalley?
I do hope this question belongs here...
I want to know if there is a specific place that bears the most resemblance to Moominvalley, which is a fictional valley where Tove Jansson's books about the moomins take place.
It is probably based on Finland's landscape, where the stories originated from, but I was wondering if there is any real valley that may be similar enough to moominvalley's depictions in pictures (see below) and TV series?
Some artist's representations of the valley:
By the way, I am aware of Moomin World, although I haven't been there. Still, I'm looking for a natural place, not manmade.

Answer 2
Finland doesn't really have mountains like those in the Moomin valley, and is generally very flat. I believe Tone Jansson was inspired by the west coast of Norway. There are tons of valleys there that looks almost exactly like it, with the same combination of ocean, mountains and forest.
