Lake District Municipalities

A blue labyrinth of lakes, islands, rivers and canals, interspersed with forests and ridges, stretching for hundreds of kilometres in a placid and staggeringly beautiful expanse: welcome to the largest lake district in Europe.


There are lakes of all shapes and sizes in very region of Finland, but the eastern part of the country is especially well-endowed with water. The Saimaa lake system, following roughly the eastern border with Russia, is a vast interconnecting network of waterways, and the lakes continue further west to Kuopio and north to Nurmes. This area has earned Finland its reputation as the land of thousands of lakes, and is an ideal holiday destination, whether you long for the peace of the countryside and a clean environment, an adventure amidst the lakes, rivers and forests, or want to get to know a different European culture, with its countryside traditions and lovely small towns.

Other important and breathtakingly beautiful lake systems extend on either side of Tampere and close to Jyväskylä in central Finland. And if you looking for something new away from the stresses and strains of city life, you’ll find it in Lakeland Finland!
