“The Country of the Thousand Lakes” attracted us to skate on the immense water areas. Out of Finland’s 40 national parks we chose 3 which – after investigating ice and weather conditions – were suitable for our skating adventure. North and Southern Savolax with Konnevesi and Kolovesi National Parks were first in turn.
Southern Konnevesi National Park
The park was inviting with its many islands
Winter trail on ice
Shifts in grey - a little snow on the surface
Kolovesi National Park
Icy road leading to Kirkkoranta - Kolovesi National Park
Strong tail wind - about 10 m/s
We had to struggle in the strong head wind
What a joy following the shore line in tail wind
