Linnansaari National Park is home to the Saimaa ringed seal and
has some of the most beautiful lakeland scenery in the area. The waters
of the park are dotted with lush green islands and rocky islets and is
an ideal place for canoeing and boating. The park is great for spotting
ospreys, white-backed woodpeckers and more than 70 other species of
birds. At Linnansaari Croft traditional slash-and-burn farming practices
are preserved.
The National park is suitable for day visitors as well as
campers, fishermen, kayakers and boaters. You can explore the park by
yourself or attend a guided tour. SaimaaHoliday arrange guided trips
such as seal safaris, kayaking trips, fishing trips, lake safaris and
cruises. There is a daily regular boat from Oravi to Linnansaari Island, the
main island of the park. On the main island you can find the ecohostel, kiosk, sauna, 2 camping sites, fire places, harbour, nature trails and the museum croft.
