Lakes offer beautiful scenery with vast areas of water and nice beaches. In the west, Païjänne, the main lake linking all the others, fuses the blue of its waters with the green of the islands' forests. The European Community awarded Finland the prize of the best management in natural resources, to salute the cleanliness and good care of its environment. In the east, Saimaa is Europe's biggest lake region with lakes, canals, rivers, rapids and different water flows in the heart of the forest. Wooden chalets isolated on small islands welcome nature lovers. Many leisure activities are available including canoeing, hiking, fishing, swimming and gold washing.
