Sorolansaari, Forest island in Lake Ladoga, Russia

Sorolansaari extends 7.5 kilometers in length and 3 kilometers in width, featuring small lakes, streams, and dense forest coverage throughout its territory.

The island formation dates back over two thousand years when glacial movements shaped the Ladoga Skerries region, creating numerous rocky formations and water channels.

Finnish names mark the surrounding islands, while remnants of former Finnish settlements from before 1940 remain scattered across Sorolansaari's landscape.

Visitors reach Sorolansaari by taking transportation to Sortavala or Lahdenpokhya, followed by boat services that navigate Lake Ladoga's waters.

The island contains an artificial cave that served as a quartz mining site, with its highest elevation point reaching 90 meters above water level.

Location: Лахденпохское городское поселение
