Raakkyla

Rääkkylä sits on Lake Orivesi in North Karelia, Finland, where wooded islands and long inlets form part of the Saimaa lake system. This small municipality occupies a water-bound corner of eastern Finland, with roads and settlements threading between forest and shore. Rääkkylä holds a distinct place in Finnish folk music: the internationally known group Värttinä was founded here, drawing on Karelian singing traditions. The Kihaus Folk festival continues that local connection through folk music and dance. Find related webcams in the surrounding area to build a fuller picture of Rääkkylä and the Saimaa region.
