Pine-clad esker ridges formed during the Ice Age rise over  pristine blue lakes in this beautiful part of Finland's eastern  borderlands, well worth a day trip or a longer stay. Don't miss the  lively and picturesque old Karelian village of Möhkö near the park. The  colourful history of the area during World War Two is also of interest.
