The Saimaa Canal is not only pretty to look at, but historically significant. The canal and lock system connected Lake Saimaa, through which the Finnish-Russian border runs, to the Gulf of Finland.

this is the best preserved piece of the original (1850s) canal, the old one is the bendy one to the east and the modern (1960s) one is the straight one to the west (don’t expect seeing any ships there these days though...)
