Linnansaari National Park
Linnansaari National Park in Lake Saimaa offers Finnish Lakeland nature at its best. With its hundreds of islands and big open waters, it is a true paradise for anyone exploring it via water. And for hikers, there are many well-marked nature paths.
In winter, tour skating, kicksledding, cross-country skiing, walking or a pulled sledge are ways of moving around in the national park. The tour skating and winter walking route goes from Oravi via Linnansaari to Nature Hotel & Spa Resort Järvisydän. In the national park, there is also a wonderful snowshoe park and a pancake café that is open on weekends.
