History of Vellamo
The
Rääveli chain of lakes from Heinola to Pertunmaa is peculiar in its origin
compared to other Finnish lakes. The waterway is almost 30 km long and at its
broadest about 1 km. According to geological research the lakes originate in a
deep gap between two different rock foundations, and the bottom of this gap is
filled with broken rock down to unknown depths.
Before
the Ice Age the gap with its broken rock bottom was filled with water from the
primeval sea. Later the Ice Age further formed the lakes, and when the ice
melted new elements entered the water. After the Ice Age rains brought more and
more water into the gap. Gradually a compact water-proof layer settled on the
gap. The water was sealed into this reservoir for thousands of years, slowly
gaining the balance it has today. You might say it has ripened in peace far away
from the pollutants of today. Vellamo is Nitrate free indicating a pristine source.
