About
Leivonmäki National Park (Leivonmäen kansallispuisto) lies in Leivonmäki, in Central Finland, and is a scenic nature reserve well suited to a slow, outdoor visit.
What you will find
The park is known for its esker ridges, long ridges of gravel and sand left behind by glacial meltwater, which give the landscape its shape. Between them are clear lakes, and the varied habitats support a diverse range of bird life. Visitors come for the views, the quiet, and the chance to watch wildlife.
Ways to visit
- Hiking along the ridges and through the forest
- Canoeing on the lakes
- Wildlife observation, especially birdwatching
The park suits anyone who enjoys walking, paddling or simply sitting by water. Those who want to see birds will find the varied terrain rewarding.
