The easiest way to explore Linnansaari National Park is by canoeing. The park includes as many as 130 islands and hundreds of islets. The islands have plenty of campfire spots, tent sites, and toilets. Note that many islands are only accessible to Saimaa ringed seals, dozens of which can be seen swimming here. Keep a sufficient distance from them.
The largest island, Linnansaari, can be reached by water bus in summer. At the island's farmhouse, traditional slash-and-burn agriculture is practiced by volunteers. The era of slash-and-burn is evidenced by extensive deciduous forests, which are home to the white-backed woodpecker and the provincial bird, the golden oriole.
Many of the park's hiking trails circle around Linnansaari. From Linnavuori, which was used as a lookout point a thousand years ago, there are magnificent views in almost every direction. In winter, a skating track tens of kilometers long is plowed on the ice.
Our maps are printed on excellent Tyvek material, which is waterproof and tear-resistant. Thanks to a well-designed layout, the region's most important attractions are visible on the same map.
