SAVO
WELCOMES
TOURISTS
Welcome to the centre of beautiful
Savo, pure nature and clear lake areas!
It is easy to get here. Main roads 5 and
23 pass through the area, and boating
tourists can easily get here with good
water routes.
The area’s rush-free and calm way of
life helps tune in to a relaxing holiday
mood, and the five municipalities
each have their own specialties and
characteristics.
Joroinen is a traditional manor region
and an unsurpassable destination
for golf enthusiasts. Heinävesi is
well-known for its monasteries and
Heinävesi’s route with its canals is part
of the Finnish national landscape.
Leppävirta is the leisure centre of Savo,
and not just because of Sport & Spa
Vesileppis.

WATERWAYS & WILDLIFE
Leppävirta and Heinävesi
routes that belong to Saimaa’s
water way, together with
highways 5 and 23, connect
the area’s five municipalities
with the rest of Finland.
Proximity to the waterways
gives the region’s culture
its own stamp. Many people
think that this is the most
beautiful part of the Finnish
Lake District. A boating tourist
can also easily come here, and
the high-quality port services
guarantee a pleasant stay.
The region’s waterways offer
many things to see and do.
Boat cruises through the
canals, scenic cruises on an
ecological electricity boat,
paddling in picturesque nature
conservation areas, as well
as the fish-rich lake and river
sites are just a few examples
of the region’s range of
activities.

Waterways

CANAL REGION
Heinävesi route’s six canals
The narrow and winding waterways,
the island-open lakes and old canals
make Heinävesi’s route a unique
ensemble. This must be experienced
at least once in a lifetime!
The canalisation of the Heinävesi
route began in the late 1800s,
and there are six canals on-route.
Karvio’s canal opened a ship route
from Kuopio to Heinävesi, when
it was completed in 1896. Kerma,
Vihovuonne and Pilpa canals above
Kermajärvi, were built in the years
1903-1906. This opened up a ship
route to Savonlinna. Varistaipale and
Taivallahti canals were dug in 19111916. Out of these, Varistaipale’s
four-chamber canal has Finland’s
highest drop of 14.5 metres.
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Konnus canal
The first of the Konnus canals
was completed for Leppävirta
in 1841. Today, the one that
continues to operate, and the third
canal in order, was completed in
1973. There is plenty to see in the
Konnus region: in addition to the
three different aged canals, the
region has five fish-rich rapids,
and relief from cultural hunger
is provided with, for example,
summer theatres, dances and a
variety of entertainment events.
Visitors of the canal area are
provided with the Canal Restaurant Konnustupa.
Tel. +358 40 195 2500

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Taipale canal
Taipale’s old canal that is located in
Varkaus was Finland’s first shut-off
canal when it was completed in
1840. The half-mile-long deep
canal that is in use today, connects
Haukivesi and Unnukka, and it
was completed in 1967. Summer
visitors of the Taipale canal area are
kept busy with the Canal museum,
cafe and local produce shop. Out
of the attractions, the canal path
and the old stone canal are not
worth missing.

WATERWAYS & WILDLIFE
WATER NATURE
Eye and soul food
Linnansaari National Park
Linnansaari National Park, located
in Haukivesi, represents the Saimaa
Lake nature at its best. In the lean of
the region’s numerous islands are the
famous Saimaa ringed seals, and it
is also home to one of our country’s
most dense osprey populations.
The Linnavuori vantage point, nature
path (2km) as well as marked trails
(5.5 and 7 km) are situated on the
park’s main island. In late winter,
a 20 km long skating trail is maintained in the region.
www.luontoon.fi/linnansaari
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Kolovesi National Park
A desert environment, where you
can quiet down at the edge of Lake
Saimaa. Rugged cliffs and ancient
rock paintings tell of the millennia
coexistence of nature and human
beings. The Saimaa ringed seals
can also been seen in the area. The
National Park waters are excellent for
canoeing and rowing.
There are two marked nature trails in
the region: Nahkiaissalo 3.3 km and
Mäntysalo 3.8 km.
www.luontoon.fi/kolovesi
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Soravesi’s Archipelago
Sorsavesi’s varied landscapes consist of
a number of islands, small islets and
rocky areas.
In the centre of the lake there is a
concentration of idyllic small fishing
huts. The northern part of region
has long, deep valleys and high hills.
The beaches are mainly rocky and
boulder-rich, and a moraine zone
layered by the continental glacier runs
over the southern half of the lake. An
ancient rock painting has recently
been found in Ukkokivi Island in
Sorsavesi.
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Suvasvesi Jakamot islands
The archipelago of Jakamot splits
Suvas in to two backs, Kukkari
and Haapaselkä. Both backs are
thought to have arisen as a result of a
meteorite impact. The region’s islands
are rocky and have been smoothed
during the Ice Age. They are in a private nature reserve, so camping and
campfires are not permitted.
In the northern part of Jakamot is
Kääriä Island, which is a popular
place to camp, including among fishermen. Hornanmäki that is located in
Soisalo is a known ancient sacrificial
place, which is also mentioned in
Kalevala. The easiest way to get to
Jakamot is by boat or canoe, which
can be launched at Horsmalahti’s boat
launching site.
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Ämmäkoski and
Kämäri Island
The scenic Kämäri Island has been
preserved as a green area in the centre
of Varkaus. The three-kilometer-long
nature trail winds between Ämmäkoski and Taipale canal. The area has a
rich fauna and the rapids give an extra
touch to the lush landscape.

The region has a rich variety of
delicious local food. Specialties

Järvikylä’s salads and herbs
are grown purely, without
chemical additives, and
Leppävirta’s strawberries are
the famous around Finland.
Hyvätuuli Highland’s organic
meat products are known
for their tenderness and
pure taste, and fresh baked
Heinävesi malt bread is
mouth-wateringly good.
