Siilinjarvi

Travel Guide

Surrounded by beautiful lakes and ridge scenery, Siilinjärvi offers a wealth of experiences for active travellers.

Surrounded by beautiful scenery, Siilinjärvi is a great choice for travellers looking for an adventure holiday. The municipality of Siilinjärvi, in the province of North Savo, is best known for its baseball venue, but the surrounding area offers opportunities for a diverse range of sports and activities all year round.

You can reach Siilinjärvi easily from anywhere in Finland, as the Savo railway line passes through the centre of the municipality, but if you want to visit by boat, the area also has a number of inland waterways and a deep-water harbour. If you wish to travel by air, Kuopio Airport is only a ten-minute drive from the centre of Siilinjärvi. You’ll find plenty to do in Siilinjärvi throughout the year in winter, sport lovers should visit the Kasurila Ski Resort, with its eight slopes for all levels of skiers, and in summer, don’t miss the 18-hole course at the TarinaGolf course.

Explore the area by canoe in summer or by snowmobile in winter. Try hiking along the Tarinaharju-Patakukkula Nature Trail, amid Siilinjärvi’s loveliest scenery – an area home to several rare plant species.

The most popular attractions are the Monument of the Battle of Toivala and the Siilinjärvi Church, but don’t forget to visit the Harjamäki Hospital Museum nearby, which details the treatment of mental illness in the area. The Pöljä Local History Museum covers agricultural history from the 19th century to the mid-1930s. The museum area is historically significant, and traces have been found there of ancient dwellings dating back to the Stone Age.

No holiday to Siilinjärvi would be complete without a visit to one of its popular spas. The central Fontanella Spa has one of Finland’s longest water slides, and ten different pools to choose from. The Spa Hotel Kunnonpaikka also has a traditional smoke sauna on the shores of Lake Kallavesi.

Visiting Siilinjärvi is very easy thanks to its good transport links from different parts of Finland. Enjoy an active holiday in beautiful surroundings, or relax and enjoy the wide range of attractions and museums.

"Mukava ja tilava huoneisto. Kaksi makuuhuonetta ja olohuoneessa vielä yksi sänky ja yhteensä tilaa neljälle. Opastus B-rappuun oli puutteellista. Raskaiden laukkujen kanssa piti ensin etsiytyä oikean oven kautta A-rapun avainautomaatille. B-rappu oli niin piilossa ettei heti löytynyt. Erinomainen ..."

"Asunnon sijainti oli loistava, siitä oli lyhyt matka kaikkialle. Asunnossa tuoksui puhtaalta ja se oli sisustettu modernisti ja miellyttävin värein. Parvekkeesta ja saunasta iso peukku. Kahdelle hengelle juuri hyvän kokoinen."
