About Linnansaaren Kansallispuisto
Linnansaaren Kansallispuisto is a natural site. Location: South Savo, Finland.
Linnansaari National Park (Finnish: Linnansaaren kansallispuisto) is a national park in the South Savo and Northern Savonia regions of Finland. It lies in the middle of the lake Haukivesi, a part of greater Saimaa. The National Park was established to conserve the valuable natural features of the Finnish lakeland. On the main island there's an old croft. Slash-and-burn agriculture is still practised on its fields to conserve the old cultural landscape and the associated plant and animal species.
