바르카우스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 호수

A strenuous climb, partly via stairs, but worth it for the view.

Wonderful viewpoint of the lakes, you can take a boat to the island and take a nice circular hike there.

Nice spot with a good view over the lakes.

Lakeside campsite with restrooms, cooking facilities, and a sauna. Linnansaari National Park has 20 campsites, all accessible by boat. The main campsite, Sammakkoniemi, has a kiosk with coffee service, a boat/guest harbor, a sauna, a fountain, an eco-hostel, as well as an accessible campfire site, a covered cooking area, and an outhouse. 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.

You can also spend the night here with a mobile home. There is a restaurant with a nice terrace overlooking the water and a small shop.

We did the tour in mid-June 2023 when it takes place at sunset time. The seals are then very shy, they lie individually on rocks and from a distance lay people can hardly see them. Nevertheless, our boat driver and guide discovered 2 specimens, which could only be photographed with a very large telephoto lens. There were also ospreys and a swimming beaver to see. The tour is highly recommended, even if you don't see any seals, because Lake Saimaa with its islands is beautiful during the evening. I would do that again at any time!

The footpath that leaves to the right when looking at the campsite from the pontoon leads to Iso-Pyyly lake; allegedly there is even a sauna on the lake (but we didn't actually go there).

You can take a rowing boat or church boat to Linnansaari and hike to Linnanvuori, the mountain with a view of the Haukivesi islands in Linnansaari National Park.
