The car journey to Sahanlahti is quick and easy. Sahanlahti is located along Route 62. Coming from Mikkeli, the Lietvesi scenic road charms drivers again and again. It’s worth taking the time to stop and admire the scenery. Drivers coming from Savonlinna will reach Puumala after various bends. This stretch of road is particularly popular with motorcyclists. Coming from Imatra, the newly widened asphalt road is still so pitch-black that on a warm summer’s day, the air shimmers.
