Kolovesi National Park, National park in Southern Savonia, Finland.
Kolovesi National Park extends across 23 square kilometers of land, featuring steep cliffs rising from clear waters and narrow lake channels.
The national park, established in 1990, contains ancient rock paintings that demonstrate the presence of early human settlements in the region.
The park maintains strict regulations prohibiting motorized boats, encouraging traditional paddling activities such as canoeing and kayaking through its waterways.
Visitors can access two marked nature trails, Nahkiaissalo spanning 3.3 kilometers and Mäntysalo extending 3.8 kilometers through the forest landscape.
The waters of Kolovesi serve as a protected habitat for the Saimaa ringed seal, with only 400 individuals remaining in the world.
