In Lapinlahti, nature, art, and history go hand in hand!
On the cultural and nature trail of Väisälänmäki, the only national landscape in Northern Savonia, you can follow in the footsteps of artists and enjoy breathtaking views from the tower atop the hill. Many key artists of Finland’s Golden Age have captured these landscapes in their paintings.
Experience the beautiful Onkivesi Lake by paddling along the Tölvä routes. Along the way, you can explore the village’s history and visit the ecumenical round art chapel.
In the Älänteen area, known for its fine sandy beaches, you can rest during hikes at lean-tos or campfire sites, and take a refreshing dip in the clean waters at the swimming spots. The stunning ridge landscapes of the Huuhkajankierros trail are truly awe-inspiring!
For those with a spirit of adventure, head to the Helvetinkattila gorge. Reaching this natural formation requires a bit of effort, but the impressive scenery makes it well worth it.
