"Lakeland is covered by more water than land. The heart of
the region is Saimaa, the largest lake in Finland, which nestles several cities
on its shores and is home to the endangered Saimaa ringed seal.
COSY COTTAGE LIFE
Spending holidays at lakeside cottages is an essential part of life in
Finland, and Lakeland is prime cottage country. General relaxation with
laid-back activities is central in cottage life.
Barbecuing, swimming, canoeing and boating are standard activities in the
summer. Being the largest lake district in Europe, Lakeland is a haven for
fishing enthusiasts. While out there, spotting elks at the shore is not unheard
of.
What about WINTER?
In the winter, the ice coating on lakes is thick enough to drive a tank over,
and it provides great conditions for ice skating, ice fishing, cross country
skiing and snowmobiling.
The stark contrasts between Finland’s four seasons are aptly reflected in the
country’s thousands of lakes. Whether swimming in or skiing on, they are ideal
territory for recreation and relaxation.
Head to Lakeland for a piece of the blue goodness.
