Lake Saimaa- Finland

This is my my childhood scenary, Lake Saimaa.

I thought it`s better for me to show things that are around Lake Saimaa than just one place.

Lake Saimaa is a large region and there are a lot of unknown (GF) places to find..

Here is more information of the lake Saimaa region by lakesaimaa.fi https://www.lakesaimaa.fi/lake-saimaa-region/lake-saimaa-introduction-5-cities/ or visit saimaa: https://www.visitsaimaa.fi/en/

What to do when you`re visiting the region?

You can visit Savonlinnan oopperajuhlat (big opera festival in Savonlinna) https://operafestival.fi/en/

And of course you need to try a sauna, there are a lot of summer cottages to rent, and they tend to be very private.

Restaurants have good knowledge about gluten free food and it`s called gluteeniton in finnish.

Restaurants, bakerys and cafes (which I know have GF options)

waffle cafe @ Tiittalan kartano
