Lappeenranta | Summer Paradise -- Missä on sinun kesäparatiisisi?
Saimaan rannalla sijaiitseva Lappeenranta on Suomen toiseksi suosituin turistien matkailukohde.
Missä suorien lentoyhteyksien päässä, Saimaan rannalla, on sinun kesäparatiisisi?
- Hollantilaisen Prinsien perheen kesä- ja talviparatiisi on Lappeenrannassa.
Christa, Joost, Mathilde & Laurent Prins from Holland have found their summer & winter paradise by the Lake Saimaa in Lappeenranta, Finland where they can directly fly into for their summer and winter vacations.
Lappeenranta is the second most popular travel destination in Finland and a hub of lakeside tourism along the shores of Lake Saimaa, Europe's fourth largest lake. Surrounded by stunning nature, Lappeenranta is the meeting point of the EU and Russia, 215 km away from both Helsinki and St. Petersburg which you can conveniently visit for a day and return back at nightfall. Its fabulous outdoors and eco-tourism experiences during the hot summers or snowy winters seasoned with Karelian hospitality, make Lappeenranta a perfect get-away destination all year around. You can choose to stay in a high-standard spa or city-centre hotel, or in a lakeside cottage or holiday home, enjoying the luxury of peace and quiet. For a perfect day in the great outdoors enjoy the sunshine, go swimming in the lake, or taste the local specialities sold at the market places and gourmet restaurants.
Fantastic Experiences by the Lake Saimaa
Lappeenranta's 18th Century Fortress, with its museums, craftsmen's shops and cafes is absolutely steeped in rich history. The versatile cultural life is complemented by events and art exhibitions. During the Summer and Fall, several ships depart from the harbour, heading for the labyrinth of islands on Lake Saimaa or through the Saimaa Canal. An amazing port area provides fun both day and night year around and there you can rent snowshoes or skates to hop on the frozen surface during the winter months. Looking for something extreme? Dip yourself in a hole in the ice. You can also rent a pair of skis by the ski rental point by the airport. Or visit local ice hockey team SaiPa's (national league of Finland) home game at the Ice Hockey Stadium. Complete the package with an excellent array of shopping venues, local delicacies or a relaxing afternoon at the spa.
Hundreds of Fabulous Cabins
Pleasant way to spend ones holiday is to stay in own cottage or villa and enjoy the beautiful nature and scenery. Many of the cottages are situated by the lake and have their own sauna as well as a rowing boat for lake excursions or fishing. You can choose from hundreds of cabins fit for year around use in the Lappeenranta Imatra Region. If your weekend get-away happens to be during the winter, the snowy surface of Lake Saimaa provides a plenitude of outdoor activities such as skiing, skating, snowshoeing and ice fishing. You can also try exciting ATV or snowmobile safaris, canoeing, rope descending, archery, paragliding on the frozen lake or take a ride on a sleigh pulled by a team of huskies! Enjoy the silence in the breathtaking nature all about -- and hear the whisper of the wild in your ears.

The Dv12 (Sv12 and Sr12 until 1977) is the standard Finnish medium-weight diesel-hydraulic road locomotive operated by VR. As all the main lines of Finnish railway network have been electrificied, the locomotive is designated mostly to unelectrified, less frequently used side lines. A total of 192 locomotives were built by Lokomo and Valmet between the years 1963 and 1984. As of 2011, the oldest Dv12 units are 48 years old.
The main engine is a Finnish-built Tampella SACM MGO V16 BSHR Diesel with two Brown Boveri-VTR 200 M turbochargers.

VR Class Sr1
The Sr1 is a class of electric locomotives built for VR (Finnish railways). These 25kV locomotives were built in the Soviet Union at the Novocherkassk Electric Locomotive Factory between 1973 and 1985. Two additional locomotives of this class were built at the VR Hyvinkää Machine Workshop in 1993 and 1995, number 3111 from spare parts and number 3112 from the original prototype locomotive (number 3000) that was never used by the VR.
The nicknames for these locomotives are Siperian susi (Wolf of Siberia; in Finnish slang susi can also mean a poorly manufactured object, compare English dog or lemon). In 1970, Valtionrautatiet ordered 27 electric locomotives from Energomachexport, which were delivered between September 1973 and the end of the year 1975. 82 additional locomotives were ordered and delivered between 1973 and 1985. The first prototype locomotive, number 3000, was bought from the constructor in 1994 by VR, which rebuilt it into number 3112.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
VR or VR Group is a state-owned railway company in Finland. Formerly known as Suomen Valtion Rautatiet (Finnish State Railways) until 1922 and Valtionrautatiet / Statsjärnvägarna (State Railways) until 1995. Its most important function is the operation of freight and passenger rail services.
VR operated steam locomotives until 1975; the regular use of steam traction for scheduled passenger services ended in 1970 but occasional use continued until 1975. As of 2011, the company operates two classes of electric locomotives (Sr1 and Sr2) and three classes of diesel locomotives (Dv12, Dr14 and Dr16). The use of diesel locomotive hauled passenger trains has declined due to electrification of all main lines and the (re)introduction of railbuses (Dm12) on secondary routes. In October 2010, VR announced plans to renew its locomotive fleet by ordering around 200 new locomotives, which are expected to enter service in 2015-2025.

Salpaläskit - Salpapolku & Fatbiket, osa 2
Salpapolku läskipyörillä, osa 2/2
Finnish Salpa trail on fatbikes, episode 2/2
Salpaläskit on b-luokan twistillä maustettu retkipyöräilytarina, jossa matkataan läskipyörillä Lappeenrannasta Salpapolku-vaellusreitille ja reittiä pitkin Suomenlahden rantaan noin sadan kilometrin matka heinäkuisen viikonlopun aikana. Tässä toisessa ja viimeisessä osassa ollaan varsinaisen Salpapolun puolella jatkaen matkaa Muhikon eräkämpältä kohti merenrantaa Virolahden Majaniemessä. Idyllistä ja vienosti hienhajuista kesämaisemaa, jonka lisäksi huumorin kukasta sen verran, että kukkii se perunakin!
Salpaläskit (Salpa-Fats) is a finnish bikepacking epic with a b-class twist. Two guys travel from Lappeenranta city to the shore of Gulf of Finland during one summer weekend using the Salpa trail hiking route that follows the southern parts of the Salpa line. In this second and last episode we continue our journey from Muhikko wilderness hut to reach the main goal, the shore of Gulf of Finland. You can expect some idyllic but sweaty summer scenery and of course without forgetting humor. The thing that was forgotten though was the quality of humor...
