Sandal

Sandal is a lake in the wooded country northwest of Onega, known in Karelian as Sandaljärvi. Its islands and long shores provided places for settlements and places of worship. On Lychny Island in the northern part of the lake stands a wooden church of Saints Peter and Paul, built in 1620; an earlier church on the island was already recorded in a cadastral book of 1583. The lake's waters belong to the wider system leading toward the Suna and Lake Onega.
