Sulkava

Among the communities of mainland Finland, Sulkava stands out for its deep connection to Lake Saimaa and long-distance rowing. Set amid the lake’s maze of wooded islands and narrow channels in South Savo, the municipality is shaped by water routes rather than a single urban centre. Each July, Sulkavan Suursoudut brings rowers to the traditional 60-kilometre course around Partalansaari, an event founded in 1968 that has made the place known across Finland. Saimaa is also home to the critically endangered Saimaa ringed seal, a species found nowhere else. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Sulkava and Lake Saimaa.
