The Astuvansalmi rock paintings are located on the shores of Yövesi Lake, a part of the large Saimaa. We will visit the place so you can see 5000-year-old ancient pictures.
Have you heard about balancing stones? Kummakivi is 500 tons in weight and has been balanced for 11,000 years in the forest of Ruokolahti municipality.
The Salpa line is a bunker line on Finland’s eastern border. It was built in 1940–1941 during the Interim Peace between the Winter War and the Continuation War and further in 1944 to defend Finland. We will visit one of its defensive points in Syyspohja.
Have you ever heard about the White Death? He was a humble Karelian farmer and hunter. During his short service during the Winter War, he became the most resultative sniper in the world. Finnish veteran is buried in Ruokolahti, where we will see a rare exemplar of Karelian carpentry: the Ruokolahti belfry built in 1752.
