Finland is commonly referred to as the "land of a thousand lakes". But even from this number, the most popular, mysterious and picturesque reservoirs can be distinguished.
Lake Bodom
Lake Bodom is considered a great place for families. The width of the lake is only 1 km, and the depth changes smoothly and gradually, although in some places it reaches 13 m. Bodom also keeps a sad secret.
Finland - a calm and safe country, in its entire history there were only three unsolved crimes. One of them is directly related to Lake Bodom. In 1960, the bodies of three brutally murdered teenagers and their seriously wounded comrade were found on the shore. He is considered the most likely suspect in this heinous crime, but his guilt has remained unproven.
Lake Saimaa
Saima - the largest of the Finnish lakes, which is compared with Lake Baikal. Its area is about 200 km. One of the symbols of Finland, the Saimaa seal, lives on the lake. Today, this cute animal is threatened with complete extinction, but the inhabitants of the country are making efforts to preserve and increase the population.
Lake Päijänne
Päijänne - the deepest of the Finnish lakes. It is located nearby from Helsinki. As a result of the melting of glaciers, its depth has reached 95 m. Päijänne is the source of the cleanest water on the planet, with which it supplies the inhabitants of the Finnish capital. The shores of the lake are very convenient for cycling and skiing.
Lake Inari
Lake Inari is inferior to Päijänne in depth, but significantly surpasses it in area, which is more than 1000 km. Inari is located in the harsh and fabulous Lapland and is considered sacred. On one of its islands, a mysterious place was discovered, where in ancient times the rite of sacrifices was performed.
