5 days in Central Finland Itinerary

Jyväskylä is a city and municipality in Finland and in the western part of the Finnish Lakeland. Venture out of the city with trips to Leivonmaki National Park (in Joutsa), Himos Ski Resort (in Jamsa) and Pyha-Hakki National Park (in Saarijarvi). There's much more to do: examine the collection at The Alvar Aalto Museum, snap pictures at Karkisten Silta, look for gifts at Punnitse & Saasta, and get engrossed in the history at Finnish Air Force Museum.
