Saimaa Canal - Finland & Russian Federation
In the summer of 2010 Suwena travelled from the Saimaa lake, through the Saimaa Canal to the Gulf of Finland. We also visited in Saimaa Canal control center and in Saimaa VTS. Dispite of being excited beforehand the canal passage went all the way smoothly with eight locks and with officials. From The Saimaa lake we decended 76 meters towards the sea.

Suwena matkasi kesällä 2010 Saimaalta Saimaan kanavaa pitkin Suomenlahdelle. Tutustuimme myös Saimaan kanavan kaukokäyttökeskukseen sekä Saimaan VTS:ään. Etukäteisjännityksestä huolimatta kanavamatka sujui leppoisasti niin kahdeksan sulun kuin viranomaistenkin osalta. Saimaalta laskeuduimme 76 metrin matkan alas merelle.

Being in such close proximity to neighbouring Russia, how does Finland maintain its Nordic identity? With current relations between Western Europe and Russia at a particularly low ebb, we would like to hear from anyone who is currently living in Finland or has fallen in love with the country while visiting. What is unique about Finland? What Finnish customs make you proud to live in the country? Share your photos, videos and stories about living in Finland, and we will feature the best of them on the Guardian site.

Timelapse - Tsvetochnoye lock, Saimaa Canal
This time lapse video was filmed onboard s/y Ghibli (Finn Express 83) in August 2016.
Saimaa Canal connects Lake Saimaa and the Saimaa water system (near city of Lappeenranta, Finland) to the northeastern tip of Gulf of Finland, Baltic Sea (Near city of Vyborg, Russia). The 43 km long canal has total lift of 75,7 m. The 8 locks have lift from 5.5m to 12,4 m. The current new canal was built by finns in 1963-68 and is operated by Finnish maritime authorities. The lower half of the canal is inside Russian federation, in the canal rented zone.
Tsvetochnoye (rus: Цветочное, former finnish name: Rättijärvi) is the third lock from Gulf of Finland. It has the shortest lift of all 8 locks, 5,5m.
The sluicing takes from 7 to 15 minutes, depending on the lift of the lock. Descending is a bit faster than asending, because filling the lock too fast causes severe counterflows.
