Lake 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.
The park is most suitable for canoeing and boating, and almost all the areas
of the park are only accessible by water.
