Nestled in the embrace of the Saimaa mountains and waters, Pieniniemi is like a bird's paradise, a mystical sanctuary where the flickering campfire flames often carry a delicate smoke veil over the lake, as well as the sounds of drums and spells. Amid the most magnificent rock formations of Saimaa, in the northern part of Hurissalo upland island, lies this rugged wilderness home to the Saimaa ringed seal and lynx. The Pieniniemi paddling route takes you through the years, allowing you to feel the story and mysticism of the water system.
