Street bridging the lake Päijänne |
Not even a 2 hours drive, straight north from Helsinki, and Torsten and me arrived at the Päijänne National Park which is located right in the middle of Finland's second largest lake. It consists of small islets and bigger islands with steep rocks and, in summer time, sandy bays and beaches. No one was there, just us, which was giving us somehow a strange feeling.

Only one guy was preparing some ice fishing holes, numerous in a row, which might be used for net fishing as well. We were climbing the viewing tower at around sunset and the dawn was drowning the scenery in spectacular red-coloured tones.
