There’s always something going on in the nature!
Relax in Saimaa
There are lots of different species of fish in the lakes such as pikes, perches and vendaces. Whitefish, trout, pike-perches and breams are also in good supply. Cottages are equipped with basic fishing equipment with no extra charge: hook and line fishing rod, fish trap. Ask about outboard motors and motorboats for rent when booking.
We are situated near the Kolovesi National Park. You can rent a kayak or you can go with your own kayak to the Kolovesi National Park. In the summer there is a lot of kayaks and hikers from around the world. Driving a motor boat in the National Park area is prohibited.
According to our customers, the water route from Savonlinna to Heinävede is one of the most beautiful in Finland. The winding and sometimes really narrow route looks even better from the boat. Our customers can either go on a guided or self-guided day trip to get to know the Heinävesi route and stop at the services in the area as they please.
Our estates are mainly covered in pinewood forests. And where there are pinewoods, there are usually plenty of mushrooms.
Lingonberries and blueberries grow in our pine forests and you can find cranberries in the marshes. Our customers are given maps of the area and get the best tips where to find most berries directly from the owner.
We offer our customers the possibility to hunt small game such as hares and forest poultry on the estates land. Hunting must always be arranged in co-operation with the owner.

Our Products
a) You can order a chef to cook you a bandit roast in a local way or to prepare you some delicious smoked fish, just to name a few examples. Ask the owner for seasonal specialities and ingredients. Different game and fish dishes have been most popular among our customers.
b) Order your meals for the weekend or the whole week from the local catering service. There are plenty of menu options available.
Some of our customers have had the unforgettable experience of fishing vendace with seine. After fishing we have prepared traditional fresh fish dishes under the midnight sun. All you need is some white wine and new potatoes to complete the perfect summertime meal!
Net fishing in the winter
A fishing trip in the harsh Finnish winter might almost feel like a survival trip. It is, never the less, an unforgettable experience. We use traditional methods in net fishing as we are operating above the ice. The fresh, ice cold fish may be prepared to a delicious treat right after catching it.
According to our customers, the waterway from Savonlinna to Heinävesi is one of the most beautiful in Finland. This winding and partly very narrow route seems even more enchanting when viewed from a boat. Our customers can enjoy the Heinävesi waterway either on an independent journey or embark on a day trip with a guide. If you are a speed freak, consider renting a water jet. Maps and guidance on tourist attractions are available from the owner.
Canoe trips to Kolovesi National Park can be made straight from the cottage or by driving to the park area. See more information about the services available at the park from our link section.
Guided mushrooming and hunting trips are rapidly gaining popularity. Request a quotation for a tailor-made trip directly from the owner.
