Could you imagine to spend one week canoeing on a huge lake? Far away from civilization, without a shower and a warming bed?
Well, that's exactly what we did. It's the perfect holiday for everyone who thirsts
for adventure, is a little crazy and doesn't fear the unknown.
 

In August 2002 we (Stefan Arnez, pharmacy student in Vienna, and Harald Doblhofer, AIS officer in Salzburg)  travelled to Mikkeli - a small town located at Lake Saimaa, 230 km northeast of Helsinki. It was  the starting point of our greenhorn-lake-saimaa-exploration-tour.
 

We'd like to motivate all who have always been thinking about a similar adventure but haven't yet taken the decision to realize it. Experienced canoeists may also get some new impressions here. People who would never make a tour like that but just want to enjoy the beauty of the Scandinavian nature are welcome as well.
 

Weather was fine, landscape was impressive and ...we survived.
But most importantly: It was damn much fun!!!! Enjoy surfing our page...
