6 SUMMARY OF THE CURRENT STATE OF THE SITES There are altogether 65 geological sites at Saimaa Geopark, but two of the sites had to be left out of the plan due to reasons of logistics and scheduling. The number of sites is great, and the sites differ from one another in many ways. For example, urban destinations are easy to reach, while the sites that are more remote, particularly those located on the islands, are more challenging in terms of reachability. In addition, the level of the facilities and the amount of signposting varies. For the reasons mentioned above, it is difficult to make clear generalisations on the current state of the sites. As mentioned earlier, the sites are described in more detail on a website, which can

be found using the link in the Appendices section of the plan, and in the table attached. However, some features that were repeated at many of the sites will be presented next. Summary of the sites will be given by focusing on the same themes that were used for the survey.
