Lintukoto

"Earth was believed to be flat. At the edges of Earth was Lintukoto, "the home of the birds", a warm region in which birds lived during the winter. The Milky Way is called Linnunrata, "the path of the birds", because the birds were believed to move along it to Lintukoto and back. Modern science has confirmed migratory birds do indeed follow the course of the Milky Way while migrating to warmer Southern lands and back. In Modern Finnish usage, the word lintukoto means an imaginary happy, warm and peaceful paradise-like place."

-Wikipedia, Finnish mythology
