The Finnish wilderness
Anyone who says Finlandsays the Land of a Thousand Lakes. To the southeast you will find the Saimaa area where many lakes, meandering rivers and canals glisten among the green forests and rolling hills. This is authentic Finnish wilderness and the habitat of the brown bear, wolf and lynx. It is also possible to encounter elk, reindeer and beavers and there are numerous bird species such as the golden eagle and the crane. The peaceful roads show you all corners of the majestic lakes, with surprising see-through points tucked away in the vast birch forests. All that water invites you to explore the area from the water and to practice water sports from different villages and towns. Experience nature and rest from a private canoe or while fishing. This is pure enjoyment, where the world can't find you...
