Niinisaari island village in Saimaa |
A couple of years ago Puumala was chosen the most beautiful municipality on Saimaa Lake District. Puumala's 3000 km of shoreline and real archipelago with over 1000 islands attract summer residents, boaters as well as other holidaymakers to their summer paradise to enjoy the sparkling blue waters, peaceful country life and genuinely friendly services of the active little village. No wonder the population of 3000 people is at least doubled in summer time.
Puumala´s location on the Saimaa waterway halfway between Savonlinna and Lappeenranta provides a pleasant stopover with comfortable marina services for boaters. At the Gibraltar of Saimaa - the only passage between the southern and northern parts of the lake district - you will find a uniquely busy Lakeland guest harbour with a touch of Southern European atmosphere.
The Puumalansalmi Bridge, spanning the Puumalansalmi strait, is one of the longest bridges in Finland (4th position). It offers a breathtaking view over Saimaa lake and the village below. The bridge tower with the lift takes you up to the height of 28 metres. At the top of the lift tower there is a cafe where you may enjoy a cup of coffee and observe the busy harbour below.
