南部サヴォニアの湖・トップ20

Beautiful little city harbor, located right next to the market square and the starting point for boat tours.

Karjalankallion Kota sits within the Punkaharju Arboretum, offering a peaceful retreat amid a diverse collection of trees. This sheltered rest stop provides a firepit and benches, making it a perfect spot to pause and take in the surrounding forest and lake. Whether you're exploring the arboretum’s unique tree species or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of nature, this kota offers a welcoming break along the trail.

The kota seems to be property of the local hunting club, but we spend the night without any troubles.

Behind the sauna (which you can reserve through the local yacht club) there is a rowing boat that you can use.

The boat tours last one hour and currently cost €13 per adult. In the summer they run every half hour.

Lakeside campsite with restrooms, cooking facilities, and a sauna. Linnansaari National Park has 20 campsites, all accessible by boat.

Tent fee: €12 per tent from Midsummer to the end of August. From Sammakkoniemi, it is approximately 1 km to the Louhimaa Museum Cottage and approximately 3.5 km to the Perpulanluhta campsite.
