Short hike on the east side of the national parkThe short hike presented here offers the opportunity to explore the nature of Päijänne National Park on land without the need for a boat. Almost the entire protected area is located on islands in the middle of the lake of the same name and includes only short stretches along the shores of the "mainland". The varied hiking loop has a historic lookout tower as its goal, which provides a magnificent panoramic view of the eastern lake landscape of the national park. The best-known attraction of Päijänne National Park is Pulkkilanharju, about 15 km north of Asikkala. Here, esker ridges and small islands connected by bridges form an almost 10 km long strip of land overall. This has been used as a traffic route since ancient times and is now developed into a modern road. At Pulkkilanharju itself, a nature trail has been laid out, enabling loops between 2.4 and 4.5 km in length that largely follow the narrow esker ridge (see tip).
