Blue and green - like on the map. Thousands of summer huts around the Saimaa and other lakes are available to tourists looking to relax.
Many guests spend at least a part of their holidays in the lake region. They want to experience a typical Finnish holiday: faineance in a little wooden hut in the forest or at a lake. Everyone who has enjoyed this kind of relaxation is enthusiastic about it. The secret: being close to nature, absolute solitude. Finally you can read all the books you’ve been wanting to read for a long time, get your water directly from the lake, and cook fabulous dishes from fresh fish, mushrooms, berries, etc. Rowing, fishing, biking – the lake region is ideal for those kind of activities. Almost every village has a little harbor with a boat rental. Trips to the next town or across the country offer a scenic change. Opera festivals, folk festivals, museums, wooden churches, and national parks are awaiting visitors. How about a trip along the “Green culture road” of Mäntyharju across Mikkeli and Savonlinna to Punkaharju (learn more about it at the tourist information)? This way, you get to know the region from every angle.
