Logged for tar and timber from the 1600s until UPM donated the last tract in 2001, this Kymenlaakso forest of pine and birch is now laced with granite-walled lakes below the Olhavanvuori cliff, a near-vertical 50-meter drop into Lake Olhavanlampi. The Lapinsalmi suspension bridge crosses the narrows nearby.
