Viinijarvi

Viinijärvi lies in the lake country of Liperi in North Karelia, near the waters of Orivesi. The village and its surroundings formed an old Orthodox settlement area, known as Taipale. Lakes, islands and narrow passages shape the country, linking local communities with the larger Saimaa system. The name Taipale recalls the overland passages by which boats and goods could be moved between waterways.
