Punkaharju National Park

Nature park with forests and lakes in the center of Finland. We stopped here on the way from Savonlinna to Helsinki. It is interesting even to drive a car along the narrow stripes of land covered with forest. In some places, their width is equal to the width of the road.


There are many places to stop, we parked here N 61 46.573 E 29 20.188, near a cafe and toilet, and walked through the forest. We also saw pictures of the observation tower N 61 45.722 E 29 23.076 and went there, but it was closed and abandoned, so we only made few pictures from the drone.


Check the official website for more information about the national park.
