Petkeljärvi National Park

Finland’s easternmost national park is an excellent destination for a day trip or starting point for a longer trek. Petkeljärvi’s natural scenery includes sandy esker ridges formed during the Ice Age, as well as several pristine lakes and ponds with crystal clear water. The black-throated diver (which features in the park’s emblem) breeds by these unspoilt waters, and the work of beavers can be seen in the park’s forests.
