Ruokolahti

Among the settlements of Mainland Finland, Ruokolahti stands out for its position among the intricate shores and islands of Lake Saimaa, Finland’s largest lake. Waterways, forest and scattered summer cottages define this corner of South Karelia, close to the Russian border. The wooden Ruokolahti Church, completed in 1758, remains an important local landmark, while Kummakivi, a protected balancing boulder in the municipality, reflects the region’s glacial geology.
