The gem of the park is Paanajarvi Lake, which extended from the west to the east among picturesque mountain peaks. And it seems that one part of it approaches the water as steep rocks and the other – is far away from the water. It is not very large (1,5X24 km) but very deep (128m). There are many rapids on the rivers and some waterfalls. There are many valuable fish species in the rivers.
Additional information:
There are 6 winter and summer routes and 12 tourist guest houses in the park.
