Pihlajavesi, Freshwater lake in Finnish Lakeland, Finland
Pihlajavesi stretches across 712 square kilometers of Finnish territory, containing numerous islands and peninsulas that form an intricate network of waterways.
Throughout centuries, Pihlajavesi has functioned as a primary transportation route for Finnish communities, connecting settlements and facilitating trade across the region.
The lake and Olavinlinna castle form part of Finland's national landscapes, representing the connection between natural waters and historical fortifications.
Visitors can access multiple boat launching points around the lake, with facilities for fishing, swimming, and water sports available from spring through autumn.
The protected waters of Pihlajavesi serve as a critical habitat for the Saimaa ringed seal, with only 400 individuals remaining in the world.
