Few municipalities in North Karelia have a history as closely tied to the waterways of the Saimaa lake system as Liperi. Lake Orivesi and Pyhäselkä, both connected to that vast network of inland waters, shape the municipality’s surroundings; forests, islands and farmed fields occupy the land between their shores. At the parish centre, Liperi Church, completed in 1858, provides a link to the community’s Lutheran heritage. Villages including Viinijärvi and Ylämylly underline Liperi’s character as a spread-out Karelian municipality rather than a single urban centre.
