Päijänne National Park, National park across Lake Päijänne islands in Padasjoki, Asikkala, and Sysmä, Finland

The national park spans 14 square kilometers, featuring over fifty islands and islets with steep rocks, sandy eskers, and clear water lagoons.

The establishment of Päijänne National Park in 1993 marked a commitment to preserve the natural environments shaped during the Ice Age.

The historical watchtower on Päijätsalo island, constructed in 1899, stands as a reminder of traditional Finnish observation methods over Lake Päijänne.

Visitors can access the park through cruise boats, water taxis, personal watercraft in summer, or by skiing and snowmobiling during winter months.

The Kelvenne island contains a 9-kilometer trail system that reveals different geological formations and natural features from the Ice Age period.
