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

Päijänne National Park spreads across numerous islands and islets with steep rocky cliffs, sandy ridges, and clear water lagoons. The varied landscape was shaped by glacial forces and supports different habitats.

The park was established in 1993 to protect the natural environments shaped during the Ice Age. This decision recognized the area's long importance for both nature and people.

The islands have shaped how people in the region have lived and worked for generations. Visitors can see how fishing practices and seasonal use continue to influence daily life on the water.

Access is easiest by boat, water taxi, or personal watercraft during warm months. Winter visitors can explore on foot across frozen water or by snowmobile.

Kelvenne island has a walking trail system that reveals different traces of the Ice Age and helps visitors discover geological differences firsthand. The paths connect various landforms and make natural diversity tangible.
