Natural monuments and reserves. National Parks Finland National Park in Finland

The natural legacy of Finland is divided into 39 national parks and reserves. The largest of them are located in Lapland. Interesting detail: In each park there are at least one lake and an island. It is very difficult to describe such beauty, it needs to be enjoyed with my own eyes.

Park Lemmenioki

The park was created in the middle of the 20th century. It is located in Lapland, and reproduces the natural beauty of the taiga. This is the largest European National Park, as well as the oldest in Finland. The name of the park means the "Love River". On the park is a very diverse natural world. Birch groves spread out in the north of the park, pine forests are located in the center, and the south are dense forests of firs. The valley of the river with the same name is surrounded by hills in size six hundred meters. Various sightseeing platforms will help to consider all these beauties from several most beautiful angles. On the territory of Lemmeni, the largest buoy of deer in Europe is located, in which more than 7 thousand goals are located. Also in the park are the remains of the ancient parking of people, which is almost an oldest in all Finland.

Park Kolovsey

The park is spread on two major islands and a couple of smaller near the city of Savonlinna, to the south of Finland. It was founded in 1990. These land are favorable for the livelihoods of small aqueous mammals, pine predominate from the flora. The complex decided to put in the list of national parks in order to preserve this unique ecosystem with an inhomogeneous landscape and a multitude of rivers flowing from the hills. In order to protect the rare species - Siemena Nerva - was made very unknown for the country's decision to close certain parts of the park from tourists. But those parts of the park, which are open, show the true beauty of the southern lands of Finland.

Park Pyanian

This park is spreading on the Islands of Lake Pyanne, which is the second largest reservoir of Finland, and was approved as National in 1993. The path goes there across the road from the city of Lahti with incredibly picturesque landscapes. Another way to get to the park - ride on the boats, which deliver tourists to the destination from several cities. This type of landscape was formed after the alignment of the glacial mass and is the most striking example of a typical image of the Finnish nature: stony shores of the lake, high pine forest and the purest air. It is from Lake Pyanin, because of his pure water, residents get drinking water in the capital of Helsinki. The lake was the habitat of beautiful swans in antiquity, and therefore they became his symbol. The park, like the lake itself, is located in the southern part of Finland, between the cities of Lahti and Jyvaskyul, approximately hundreds of kilometers from the capital of the country.

Park Urho Kekkonen

After the Park Lemmeni, this park is the largest national park by the state. The basis falls in 1983, and the name of the park received in honor of the head and premiere of the country of that time. You can visit it if you leave Saariselkia, where the start of the excursions is. In the park you can climb the mountains and visit the museum.

A trip to Finland may have two reasons. The first is shopping. Boring and uninteresting reason in our opinion. The second reason to visit this country is the National Parks of Finland. We, to deep regret, until half have seen. But everything is ahead. That is why this article is written not only for you, but also for us - to open and read all the useful information found about National Parks of Finland.

If you believe Wikipedia, in Finland 38 national parks of the most different area and scattered throughout the country. Finns Well done - they created the full illusion of wildlife inside civilization. Why illusion?

Because all Finnish National Parks are permeated with hiking routes and are equipped with places for recreation. Trees are marked, almost on each fork there are pointers called routes. Routes can be a couple of kilometers long, and can reach hundreds. The complexity is also different - from walking to serious trackings.

Entrance to all National Parks Finland FreeUnlike other European countries. The time is also unlimited. You can drive up on an excellent way from the inputs. Everywhere there are equipped parking with toilets, garbage containers, a park card, etc.

In Finland, there is not a single national park, as part of which water or islands would not be listed. Seven national country reserves were based in order to preserve the unique Finnish island nature. Of these, four are located in the marine areas and three on the lakes.

Linnanananari The Oldest Linnanananari Park, located on Lake Hauques of the Lake System System, was founded in 1956. Its territory stretched about 40 km long and 10 km wide. In the park there are more than 130 islands of more hectares and about a hundred minor islands. Large part of the territory occupy open water spaces. In the park, 50 ringed Synamian nerve lives, one of the largest population skop in Finland nests. On the main island of Linnanananari, you can get acquainted with the traditional life of past generations of residents renovated by a wooden hut, "barbea" and a housing fire system of agriculture. Numerous natural trails are laid on the island. In the services of visitors to Park - 20 parking spaces for boats and boats.

Kolovyi another island park in the Lake System System founded in 1990 on Lake Kolovsey. And although it consists of only forty islands, two of them are the largest islands of the country's national parks: Vaisalo (1210 hectares) and Mieshudules (740 hectares). For the park, the long and narrow bay resembling fjords are characterized, which are deeply crashed into the shores of the main islands. Steep granite rocks rise almost vertically 40 meters above the water and at the same distance under water. Among the fish are spread ripples, koryushka, perch, volim, sig and is. More rare species include lake trout, Halts and slingshot (buggy and needle relict fishing fish).

Popnaya National Park has existed since 1993 and covers about fifty undeveloped islands, as well as parts of the populated islands. Park's heart - Kelven Island is 8 km long and 800 meters wide. Its feature is the sandy shores and quiet lagows. The terraces on the slopes of the ridge and the stony coastal shall indicate the first heights of the water level.

The National Park of the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland is the oldest of maritime parks, founded in 1982. Judging by the rocky sediments, he is the youngest (geologically) of all island parks: the age of reddish granite-Rapakivi is just over 1.6 billion years. The total area of \u200b\u200ball forest islands and pairs of hundreds Schher Park is 800 hectares. The eastern part of the Gulf of Finland is the place of habitat and reproduction of seals, there are also many seabirds here. In addition to natural wealth, in the park there are many military historical monuments: a fortress, a torpedo station and a cave shelter for soldiers. Not far from the park are the island settlements of KauniSari, Haapasaari and Tammy. On the other side of the border, in Russia, the opening of the National Park is also planned.

The Archipelago National Park Tammisaari Park was founded in 1989 and has 52,000 hectares of the Marine area on which 500 islands are located. The park also includes the water system of the Bay of Foxhainyialyanchti.

Here are the zones of external, middle and internal archipelagments, which is why when switching from an open water space to a nearly freshwater system of Filiajaianiaianchti bay can be observed a complete change in flora and fauna. Numerous lagoon separated from the sea are important places of rest and nesting birds. The largest island of Park - Yalge (700 hectares) is the largest area among the islands in the marine national parks.


The National Park of the Archipelago Sea Park is located on the distant Islands of the territory of Kemiensaari commune and West Turunmaa. The territory of the park covers about a thousand islands. Features of the landscape: islands with low woody vegetation, rich in flora of the island of inland reservoirs, rocks with smooth surfaces, as well as multiple gravel and rocky islands (Juro, Sandcjar, Sanda), which belong to the third Mountain ridge Salpusselk. The underwater landscape is quite effective due to the clear lines of the depression and france, as well as the flooded valley of Gullkron.

The nature of the park in its biodiversity is considered one of the richest in Finland. Approximately the tenth of the land sushi area is processed to preserve old pastures and groves. The park and the territory adjacent to it form a biosphere reserve of the Archipelago Sea within the framework of the UNESCO program, where 1200 people constantly live. Similar biosphere reserves in Finland are only two. The second, Panthansuo, is located in North Karelia.

Peremyaea National Park Peremyae, located near Kemi and Tornio, covers an area of \u200b\u200b15,700 hectares, of which sushi is 250 hectares. Islands and Schker in the park there are a total of about forty. Of these, the majority are combined into groups and are separated from the rest of extensive water spaces, where you can get acquainted with the constantly changing, created as a result of the climb of sushi by marine nature, as well as with fishing villages and traditional marine scenery.


Quartzen shedding the most recent international recognition of Finland's island territories was the inclusion of the Quartzen Strait in 2006 to the UNESCO World Natural Heritage List. The Kvarken Strait is dominated by the low islands from sea sediments, the highest point of which is only 20 meters above sea level. Particularly impressive areas of wavy sea sediments formed by the glacier. Sushi rise is constantly: new islands appear, the sea bays turn into the lakes, navigate the shipping fairways. These changes can be observed during the life of one generation of people.

Many other National Parks Finland also have large islands and unique island landscapes. Their number includes Parks Kolya, Tilikka and Isooyarevi. Outside of national parks, there are many protected areas that are part of island nature. These territories are included in the national coastal areas of the coastal zone, birds and mountain varnishes.

Finland - a recognized world leader in environmental and concern for the environment, the initiator of many environmental restrictions and sometimes even unpopular decisions, including at the international level, designed to limit the impact of human activity to the environment. So, the Finns are careful about their natural resources, it does not care, probably no one else in the world. It is not surprising that the number of reserves and national natural parks per capita in Finland almost an order of magnitude exceeds similar indicators of any other European - and not only - countries. Under the protected areas highlighted huge areas, allowing to maintain not only a rare flora and fauna, but also the country in general. Attitude towards nature in Finland is very serious and among the country's ordinary population, and at the highest government level.

In one article it is impossible to tell about all national parks and reserves of the Motherland of Sibelius. Some of the protected areas, which is assigned the status of the National Park, in Finland there are 35. The number of oases of virgin nature with the lower status of the reserve is simply not amenable to calculate. Without any exaggeration, we can say that, in fact, all Finland approximately interest on the ninety consists of reserved zones. Moreover, in contrast to the Russian reserves familiar to us, Finnish is not deaf and impassable Taiga Debrist with strict foresters, signs "stand! Forbidden zone!" and armed representatives of fisheries. Almost all national parks and reserves of Finland are open to tourist visits. Moreover, Finns literally call guests there, naturally proud of their attitude towards nature and showing the example of the rest of the peoples in this regard. Actively developing infrastructure and inviting millions of guests, our northern neighbors, however, turned out to be able to preserve in pristine and distinctive nature, and unique fauna, and pine forests, and fish in lakes. This is the uniqueness and attractiveness of Finnish tourism: where else can you bring together together all the ultra-modern achievements of civilization, the highest level of comfort, which can only imagine and untouched virginity of nature, which for millions of years I could not destroy human activity for millions of years?

Repeat again: to list all the reserves of Finland is simply impossible. Any geographical point that a tourist can visit, who came to the country of thousands of lakes, no doubt, will be a protected (except for large megalopolises, which in Finland can be counted on the fingers of one hand). In the case of the Somomy country, it will rightly say that the country itself is the reserve. With the only reservation: this reserve has a planetary scale.
