Linnansaari National Park (Finnish: Linnansaaren kansallispuisto) is a national park in the Southern Savonia and Northern Savonia regions of Finland. It lies in the middle of the lake Haukivesi, a part of greater Saimaa. The National Park was established to conserve the valuable natural features of the Finnish lakeland.Plan to visit Linnansaari National Park during your Rantasalmi vacation using our convenient Rantasalmi holiday planner.
On the main island there's an old croft. Slash-and-burn agriculture is still practised on its fields to conserve the old cultural landscape and the associated plant and animal species. A large part of the island is natural-state coniferous forest, with some herb-rich parts.
The critically endangered Saimaa Ringed Seal inhabits the park.

One of the most beautiful places on earth. Beautiful lake area with small islands all over.

This island is beautiful and serene, lots of opportunities to swim, sauna, some walks and canoeing. Charming! If you camp overnight, keep your food out of reach of the honey badger!
