Repovesi National Park, National park in Kymenlaakso, Finland
Description
Repovesi National Park sits in southeastern Finland and combines lakes, rocky cliffs, and forests across a large area. The landscape shows steep rock faces beside calm water and dense woodland, creating varied terrain for exploration.
History
The protected area was established in 2003 but kept an unusual structure: sections remain in private hands rather than becoming entirely state-owned like most Finnish national parks. This mix of public and private land shapes how the park is managed today.
Culture
The area draws hikers who explore its network of pathways connecting water, stone, and forest. Visitors experience how different natural elements come together and create routes for moving through the landscape.
Practical
Visitors can enter the area through three gateways at Lapinsalmi, Tervajärvi, and Saarijärvi and follow a network of marked hiking paths. The Ketunlossi cable ferry allows hikers to connect different sections and complete longer loops through the park.
Did you know?
The Ketunlossi cable ferry is a rare form of transport that lets hikers cross water instead of taking long detours overland. This traditional solution connects isolated forest sections and makes full circular walks through the park possible.
