On the shores of Lake Saimaa, Finland’s largest lake, this circular walk takes you on a tour of Lappeenranta during the golden hour of evening. From the harbour, you’ll walk alongside the marina’s jetties, its boats and waterside terraces, before reaching a viewpoint overlooking the lake dotted with wooded islands. Further on, a large wooden staircase descends from a wooded headland overlooking the lake. The return route climbs up to the fortress (Linnoitus), the old fortified town with its cobbled streets and wooden houses, which is home to museums and the country’s oldest Orthodox church.
