About
Finnlands zweitgrößter See erstreckt sich durch das Herz des Landes und ist berühmt für sein außergewöhnlich reines Wasser und seine landschaftliche Schönheit. Der See bietet ausgezeichnete Möglichkeiten zum Bootfahren, Angeln und Inselhüpfen, während seine Ufer charmante Seestädte und traditionelle finnische Sommerhäuschen beherbergen, die die Seenlandschaftskultur des Landes verkörpern.
Päijänne is Finland's second-largest lake, stretching across the heart of the country. It is a lake to visit for the water itself and for the scenery that surrounds it, rather than for a single landmark.
What the lake offers
- Clear water: the lake is known for its exceptionally pure water.
- Boating: the lake is well suited to getting out on the water.
- Fishing: anglers come here for the lake's fishing.
- Island hopping: its many islands make for a slow, exploratory day on the water.
Shores and surroundings
The shoreline holds charming lakeside towns, and along it you will find traditional Finnish summer cottages. Together they give a good sense of the lake-district culture that shapes so much of Finnish summer life. A visit suits anyone who wants to spend time outdoors, take a boat out, or simply sit by the water and watch the landscape change.
Päijänne works well as a base for a relaxed trip into the Finnish lake country. Plan around the lake's scenery and its towns, and allow time to move slowly between shore, water and island.
