Located in North Savonia, Leppävirta combines natural recreational opportunities with great facilities. Go on a summer cruise on Lake Unnukka, fish in the Konnus Canal area or admire some of the finest gorge scenery in Savonia. Enjoy the local spa or views from Kauppilanmäki Hill, and immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the forests. Start your holiday in Leppävirta by climbing Kauppilanmäki Hill, where you can enjoy fine views of Lake Unnukka. You should also visit Leppävirta Church, with its beautiful stone walls and one of Finland’s largest church interiors. Continue your tour with Leppävirta Local Museum, free to visit during the summer season. The museum occupies an old granary and has thousands of exhibits, ranging from prehistoric times to the present day. For a relaxing holiday in Leppävirta, visit the Wellness and Sport Centre Vesileppis, which includes pools for both children and adults. One major attraction in Leppävirta is the Konnus Canal area, with its five rapids and three canal sections, the oldest of which dates back to the mid-nineteenth century. There are guest boat berths, so if you’re travelling by water, drop in at the summer café. The best fishing spot in Leppävirta is at the Konnus Rapids, but the Unnukka and Sorsavesi fishing areas are also great choices. You can organise a rewarding and inexpensive trip to Leppävirta by touring local natural attractions and hiking areas, of which the most popular are Orinoro Gorge and Haltunniemi. Orinoro is a deep gorge, almost 200 metres long, which is quite challenging, but Haltunniemi is more suitable for a family outing thanks to its magnificent landscape and excellent accessibility. You can also try canoeing on Sorsavesi Lake and take a look at the prehistoric rock art at Ukkokivi Rock and Kuvajanniemi Cave. Situated between Kuopio and Mikkeli, Leppävirta is easily reached by national road 5, and there are excellent bus connections to Kuopio and Varkaus. Round off your holiday in Leppävirta with a visit to the museum and animals at Pajaharju Farm. - Top hotels in Leppavirta - Top Holiday Rentals in Leppavirta ![Sport & Spa Hotel Vesileppis](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18090000/18083200/18083147/0cb2115f_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### Sport & Spa Hotel Vesileppis Vokkolantie 1, Leppavirta £132 16 Sept - 17 Sept includes taxes & fees Stay at this spa hotel in Leppavirta.
