Lake Saimaa

Saimaa is one of the largest European lakes and is deservedly considered the pearl of Finland.

It is hard to imagine, but the area of this lake is equal to the entire area of Belgium. On the shores of this lake there are such cities as Lappenranta, Imatra, Joutseno, Mikkeli, which in the past were small fishing villages. By the way, fishing here can appeal not only to avid fishermen, but also to those who do not often take a fishing rod. After all, in the waters of the lake you can not only fish for salmon, but also see a very rare animal - the Saiman seal. This animal has become a symbol of Finland.

The lake is surrounded by beautiful pine forests and washes the shores of the Kolovesi National Reserve, in which moose, otters, badgers, foxes and even lynx live. The rich flora and fauna prove how good the ecology is in these places.
