The route is approximately 154 km long, and it is recommended to reserve several days (at least 2-3 days) for the journey, as there is plenty to see. Along the way, you will find several Saimaa UNESCO Global Geopark sites. The route offers the opportunity to explore the attractions of Lappeenranta and Imatra, as well as three charming parish villages in Taipalsaari, Ruokolahti, and Joutseno.

There is a ferry transport on the route, which must be booked in advance.
