The national landscape in Lapinlahti

Väisälänmäki is the only national landscape in Northern Savonia, situated approximately 12 kilometers away from the center of Lapinlahti. Väisälänmäki features a culture and nature trail that extends approximately 2,5 kilometers, winding through fields and forests on top of the hill. There are old buildings along the route and during summer one might be able to see grazing cattle. The path is relatively easy to walk, although it can be uneven on some parts and may get muddy after rain.

The best way to admire the scenery is from the Väisälänmäki observation tower. During summer, visitors can enjoy the Karjamaja café run by the 4H association along the nature trail.

The landscapes of Väisälänmäki have served as inspiration for artists such as Pekka Halonen, who originates from Lapinlahti, and Eero Järnefelt.
