Lake Saimaa District
Lake Saimaa is a lake with thousands of stories. With 15,000 kilometres of shoreline and 15,000 islands, the lake area has changed and adapted over the course of its history. For many people, Lake Saimaa is a beloved place to live or spend wonderful holidays. The towns on the shores of Lake Saimaa continue to develop, while respecting the area's diverse natural environment.
The landscape of Lake Saimaa has been shaped over millions of years and is still changing. Traces of the Ice Age can be seen all the way from the tiny giant’s ***kettles*** to the mighty Vuoksi riverbed. In addition to nature, humans have also influenced the shaping of Lake Saimaa.
