Karvio Camping
Camping in een rustige omgeving, aan een wildwater hengelgebied gelegen.
Karvio Camping and Holiday Village Uittotupa are located on the north bank of Lake Kermjärvi on the main road no 23 from Varkaus to Joensuu. It is a beautiful camp site with good facilities and very suitable for anglers, that is to say it is a whitewater fishing area. Heinävesi is close to Karvio and is known for the Orthodox Valamo monastery. This monastery, founded eight hundred years ago, first stood on an island off Lake Ladoga in an area that is now in Russia. In 1940 it was moved to the silent spot together with a large part of its treasure as the liturgical objects and the icons. Other objects and furniture are in the museum in Kuopio. it is delicious food in the monastery's restaurant between monks and monks. Also not far from the neighborhood is the quieter nuns monastery Lintula. Here wax candles are made for all orthodox churches in Finland.
