Linnansaari National Park

Linnansaari National Park is beautifully embedded in the Saimaa lake region - one of the largest and most fascinating lake systems in Europe. This unique area is a true insider tip for nature lovers exploring the Finnish Lakeland on a convertible tour and wanting to discover serene beauty off the beaten paths. The national park extends over countless islands, fjord-like bays, and dense forests, providing an authentic backdrop for active recreation and nature-oriented experiences.

The main island of Linnansaari is accessible by boat or kayak and invites visitors with well-developed hiking trails, campsites, and an impressive flora and fauna for extensive day trips. Particularly characteristic is the primeval mixed forest where centuries-old pines and birches grow, providing habitat for many bird species, beavers, and especially the Saimaa ringed seal - one of the rarest seal species in the world.

Adventurous Nature Paradise

Linnansaari captivates not only through its tranquil and impressive landscape but also through the variety of activities possible here. Those who travel through the Finnish Lakeland on a convertible tour can conveniently leave their car at one of the docks and make their way into the heart of the national park by water. A kayak tour through the many small islands is particularly rewarding, where, with a bit of luck, one might observe shy seals or ospreys.

On the main island, there are several circular hiking trails with splendid views over the Saimaa waters, picnic areas, and even a traditional wilderness cabin that provides insight into the former life of the inhabitants. In summer, guided tours are available, where visitors can learn about the natural and cultural history of the region.
