Lake Saimaa’s natural beauty provides a tranquil setting perfect for relaxation and calming down. Wandering through the forest or foraging is an ideal way to meditate, surrounded by emerald woods. Sit on a mossy mound and listen to the birds singing and the wind rustling the leaves, with no other sounds to disturb your peace.
