RV-ing Savonlinna, FinlandSavonlinna is another 'must see' place for the motor home visitor. Besides having what s reputed to be the most spectacular castle (Olavinlinna) in the whole of Finland, Savonlinna also plays host to several major social and cultural events every year. Not least of these is the annual opera festival that runs from early July to early August. Although you may think that opera is not your cup of tea, try it! The shows are held in the castle courtyard and there are masses of shows for both young and old alike. Since this is an extremely popular musical event, people from across the world attend so make sure you purchase tickets well in advance of your holiday if you want to be sure of securing them. Further information can be obtained from the Finnish Tourist Service (Tel: +358 15 517 510, email: info@savonlinnatravel.com). Savonlinna itself is a city built across a number of islands making it both beautiful and unusual. It was long the central hub of waterborne traffic in the area, serving the fleet serving Saimaa, the largest lake system in Europe. Where better for RV passengers to relax on a wonderful day cruise? You might be lucky enough to spot a floating timber train too for these are still fairly commonplace in the area. |
