Lure
of Changing Seasons
The
wilderness of Eastern Finland and the lakes close by offer wonderful
opportunities for outdoor activities and various atmospheres year
round. In the springtime, you can experience the freshness of nature
that has just burst into blossom, the lengthening days and evenings
full of light.
Island
Loikansaari is well known for its extensive bird population. Spring
is the best time for birdwatching. Here, you can see black grouses,
wood grouses, swans and cranes, for example. The bank road leading
to the island is excellent for hiking, biking and birdwatching.
In
the summertime, everybody is in Savonlinna or at their summer cabin.
The warm water lures you to take a dip and ride a boat on the waves
of the blue Lake Saimaa. There are magnificent canoeing routes with
narrow passages and rocky wilderness scenery close by. Sunbathing,
barbequing and bathing in the sauna are the best holiday therapy
for many. On a rainy day, you can drop by Savonlinna to study the
shopping opportunities, sights and cultural events of the city and
its surroundings.
In
the autumn, you can relax by listening to the rain, spend idyllic
evenings by the fireplace and admire the moonpath on the water.
Autumn is the best time for fishing, and if youre lucky, you
may catch pike perch, pike, bream or trout or the smaller fishes:
perch, roach or vendace. Hiking in the forests coloured by the autumn
tint is a refreshing experience. There is excellent terrain for
picking mushroom or berries right next to the cabins. The forests
are full of blueberries and lingonberries as well as milk caps,
russula and boletus mushroom just waiting for you to pick them.
With
us, you can experience the genuine Finnish winter. The lakes are
covered by thick ice, and the wilderness rests below a clean snow
cover. The shining snow just invites you to ski, slalom, ice-skate
and slide a sled. Those wishing for something more exciting may
try snowshoeing or
snowmobiling. In the spring, the sunny days and sparkling snow beg
you to come on the ice. It is wonderful to experience the wintry
lake, the clean, snowy wilderness and the rocky capes exposed by
the winter sun. In the wintertime, the most popular mode of fishing
is ice-fishing, but you can also try fishing with a net.
