There are lakes of all sizes in every region of Finland but the eastern part of Finland is very well endowed with pristine lakes. The Saimaa lake system following along the eastern border of Russia is a vast interconnecting network of waterways. It is this region that has earned Finland its reputation as the land of a thousand lakes. For anyone that is longing for the peace of unspoiled countryside and a clean environment, a visit to this area will provide a rejuvenating experience.
Another area and equally beautiful are the lake systems extending on either side of Tampere and in the vicinity of Jyväskylä in central Finland. The Finnish Silverline offers programs that feature restaurant boats with dining cruises. Silverline has operated on lakes Pyhäjärvi and Vanajavesi for more than 60 years with scheduled service between Tampere and Hämeenlinna.
It’s easy to reach Helsinki with Scandinavian Airlines from any one of their gateway cities including Chicago, Newark and Washington, Dulles where non stop service is offered to Copenhagen and/or Stockholm with convenient connecting flights. A visit to Finland can easily be added to your Scandinavian adventure.
Sincerely,
John and Don
