Helvetinjärvi National Park, National park in Ruovesi, Finland.
The park features deep gorges carved into bedrock, with lakes nestled between steep cliffs and dense forests covering 49 square kilometers.
The establishment of Helvetinjärvi National Park in 1982 protected geological formations dating back millions of years, including the narrow Helvetinkolu gorge.
The name Helvetinjärvi, meaning Hell's Lake in Finnish, reflects local folklore about the dark waters and steep cliffs of the area.
Visitors can explore 40 kilometers of marked trails throughout the park, with facilities including camping areas and fire pits at Haukanhieta beach.
The park contains two designated climbing locations: Sammakkolampi for rock climbing and the northern shore of Iso Helvetinjärvi for ice climbing.
