Karelian lakes appeared as consequences of the glacier which
moved from Scandinavia during the Ice Age. Great amounts of ice melted when the climate
had become warmer, and changed into small and big lakes and marshes. Clean water of the
lakes makes them full of small and big fish of various kinds. Karelian lakes are an ideal place
to relax and to spend one's spare time. They are liked by tourists, fishermen and all those people
who enjoy quite and beautiful nature.

from russian as "lake" and the word "jarvi" means the same in finnish language. Some names
of karelian lakes come from finnish and karelian languages.
