Photo: Timo NieminenLake Päijänne is the second largest lake in Finland, and in the middle of its open waters you can find a treasure; Päijänne National Park, which consists of small islets and bigger islands with steep rocks or sandy eskers. It is situated in the southern part of the lake, where about fifty uninhabited islands and islets, and parts of inhabited ones belong to the National Park.
