[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]“Enonkoski, Finland \u2014 A brisk wind was kicking up silvery ripples on the water\u2019s surface \u2014 a pretty sight but no help in the search for Saimaa ringed seals.<\/p>\n

Matti Siivonen, our guide, said the surface disturbance would camouflage the rare animals, relatives to the arctic seal, which have been stranded in freshwater lakes here for 8,000 years. But, he added, spotting seals usually requires more than a week\u2019s stay in Kolovesi National Park, an 18-square-mile wilderness of wooded islands set amid a maze of straits and channels. We were booked for two days.<\/p>\n

The seals let us down, but the park did not: Kolovesi\u2019s pristine wilderness teems with bird, mammal and fish life. Its numerous islands and islets boast soaring cliffs, forests laden with wild berries and mushrooms, ancient rock formations and caves with prehistoric drawings.“<\/p>\n

„Enonkoski, Finnland – Ein rauher Wind wirbelte silberne Wellen auf der Wasseroberfl\u00e4che – ein sch\u00f6ner Anblick, aber keine Hilfe bei der Suche nach Saimaa Ringelrobben. <\/span><\/p>\n

Matti Siivonen, unser F\u00fchrer, sagte, dass die Oberfl\u00e4chenst\u00f6rung die seltenen Tiere, die Verwandten der arktischen Robbe, die seit 8000 Jahren in S\u00fc\u00dfwasserseen gestrandet sind, tarnen w\u00fcrde. Aber, f\u00fcgte er hinzu, die Beobachtung von Robben erfordert normalerweise mehr als eine Woche Aufenthalt im Kolovesi National Park, einer 18 Quadratmeilen gro\u00dfen Wildnis von bewaldeten Inseln inmitten eines Labyrinths von Meerengen und Kan\u00e4len. <\/span><\/p>\n

Wir waren f\u00fcr zwei Tage gebucht. Die Robben lie\u00dfen uns im Stich, aber der Park nicht: Kolovesis unber\u00fchrte Wildnis wimmelt von Vogel-, S\u00e4ugetier- und Fischleben. Seine zahlreichen Inseln und Inselchen ragen mit hohen Klippen, W\u00e4ldern mit Waldfr\u00fcchten und Pilzen, uralten Felsformationen und H\u00f6hlen mit pr\u00e4historischen Zeichnungen. „<\/span><\/p>\n
