About Kyyvesi
Kyyvesi is a lake. Location: South Savo, Finland. Elevation: 101 m.
Kyyvesi (transl. Viper Water) is a rather large lake in the Southern Savonia region of Finland. It has a surface area of 129,95 km², is very shallow and extremely rocky. Motorboating on Kyyvesi is recommended only for very experienced boaters as many of the rocks have not been mapped. Also, the limited amount of landing sites is a hindrance in moving swiftly through the lake. A general bathymetric chart was completed in 2006. Canoes, kayaks and rowing boats are recommended for visitors.
