Liesjärvi National Park

1.10.2020

Because of the coronavirus, safe distances should be kept even in nature, and thorough hand hygiene should be followed at huts, campfire sites and after using the toilet. Metsähallitus' policies and guidelines will be updated as the general corona guidelines become more specific. Check our website for the current situation: www.nationalparks.fi/coronavirusguidelines.

The drawn emblem of Liesjärvi national park. A cornflower and a husk of rye are depicted inside the oval symbol. The text Liesjärvi - kansallispuisto - national park wraps around the outer edge of the emblem. Spend a day at Korteniemi Heritage Farm to find out how people used to live in rural Finland. Help out with farm chores, count sheep, and make hay while the sun shines! You can also head off along the old crofters' paths to explore the surrounding scenic forests and lakes.

Suitability: Suitable for visitors of all ages all year. Partly suitable for visitors with mobility difficulties if assisted.
