Asikkalanselkä

Asikkalanselkä constitutes the southern section of Lake Päijänne, stretching across clear waters with numerous small islands scattered throughout its surface.

The glacial movements during the Ice Age shaped the distinctive landforms of Asikkalanselkä, creating deep channels and rocky shorelines within the lake system.

The waters of Asikkalanselkä supply drinking water to over one million Finnish residents, making it an essential natural resource for the nation's population.

The Vääksy Canal connects Asikkalanselkä to Lake Vesijärvi, allowing boats to navigate between different water bodies through a controlled water system.

The lake fjard maintains a constant elevation of 74 meters above sea level and functions as a vital component of Finland's second-largest freshwater system.
