About Konnevesi
Konnevesi is a quiet municipality of about 2,400 people and exactly 100 lakes, with almost a quarter of its area under water. Southern Konnevesi National Park takes in islands in the south of Lake Konnevesi and a long stretch of its eastern shore: about 15 square kilometres of smooth glaciated rock, vertical rock walls and a maze of islands to canoe through. Wild brown trout live in the clear water. The homes are spread around Konnevesi rather than gathered in one village, and every one has a sauna. Not every home has Wi-Fi, so check before you book. The church, a windmill at the museum, the Siikakoski rapid and the Neituri canal are the local sights.
Is Konnevesi right for you?
- Best for
- Canoeists and families wanting lakes and a sauna
