The geological trail of Imatra Lammassaari island

After the crossing of the dam bridge leading to the island, you can start the geological tour of Lammassaari at the sign of Saimaa Geopark. There are three route options marked on the signpost map.

The shore path runs along the shores of Lammassaari Island. If you choose this option, you will pass the Stone Age dwelling site at the southern tip of the island, you can take a break at the northwestern shore and read the sign telling about kettle holes and how they were borne, and at the northern cliffs you can wonder the ancient bedrock and the passing of time.

When choosing the nature path, you will travel along the island's current shoreline and also along island's ancient shorelines, and you are invited inside the island's embrace of the kettle holes. There are QR codes along the nature path that you can use to download a booklet describing the nature trail spots, only in Finnish (pdf). The nature path is marked in trees with white dots.

The third option, the wide fitness track, runs along the island's ancient beaches and across the center of the island. If you choose to exercise, you can take a break at the signs telling about ancient beaches and kettle holes along the route.

You can also combine different route options as you wish. The map on the top of the page is marked with an option that follows the signs to the raised beaches, kettle holes and shore cliffs.
