Sellinkylä

Sellinkylä, also called Selgi, belongs to the Karelian country around Padany and Lake Segozero. The lake's western bay receives the Luzhma, while the Segezha carries its waters towards Vygozero and the White Sea. Old routes crossed short portages between these waterways and the lakes to the west. The villages of this district preserved Karelian speech and traditions within a landscape of wooded shores, small lakes and rivers.
