Southern Konnevesi National Park

Southern Konnevesi National Park spreads across waters and shorelines shared by two municipalities in central Finland. The landscape features numerous islands, rocky cliffs, and clear water surrounded by glacially shaped terrain.

This protected area was established in 2014 to safeguard waterways and rock formations sculpted by ancient glaciers. The geological legacy of these ice sheets remains visible throughout the water and landscape.

Local fishermen work Lake Konnevesi seasonally to catch lake brown trout, a practice rooted in the region's fishing heritage. This tradition remains visible through the boats and equipment you see along the shore.

The Vuori-Kalaja trail on Lapinsalo Island spans roughly 300 meters and includes an accessible jetty for visitors. Sections of the park offer convenient access for people with mobility considerations.

Ancient rock carvings are located at Toussunlinna and can only be viewed from boats on the water. These engravings display early human figures and elk drawings etched into the stone surfaces.
