Lakes and Nature Escapes

South Karelia's landscape is defined by the vast Lake Saimaa, Finland's largest lake system, and the dramatic Imatrankoski rapids. This selection features diverse aquatic environments, from the expansive Simpelejärvi to specialized sites like the Korpikeidas fishing pond and the Kirvesjärvi wetlands. Visitors can observe local wildlife from the Säänjärvi birdwatching tower or view the Saimaa archipelago from Luotolahdenvuori. The list also includes central green spaces like Lappeenranta’s historic Pusupuisto and the industrial heritage sites along the Vuoksi River.
