The region, which consists of six municipalities (Asikkala, Heinola, Hollola, Lahti, Padasjoki and Sysm\u00e4) gets its name from its unique ice-marginal formations, Salpausselk\u00e4 I and II, laid down by the last Ice Age some 12&nbsp;000 years ago. These formations reach across the entirety of southern Finland but are at their most spectacular in the area of Salpausselk\u00e4 Geopark, where they are joined to feeder eskers of international value. (Komulainen 2019).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A development project by LAB University of Applied Sciences, Visibility for Salpausselk\u00e4 Geopark (linkki t\u00e4h\u00e4n), focuses at increasing the visibility of the aspiring UNESCO Global Geopark. The project has produced a <a href=\"https:\/\/lab.fi\/fi\/projekti\/salpausselka-geopark-nakyvaksi-elinvoimaa-paijat-hameeseen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Guide to Geosites<\/a> which introduces the best destinations for geotourism in the area. The key attraction of the area is P\u00e4ij\u00e4nne national Park, which collected around 28&nbsp;900 visits in 2020 (Mets\u00e4hallitus 2021). In addition to this, the Salpausselk\u00e4 Geopark area offers scenic views, interesting forest trails, impressive caves and gorges and valuable cultural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/04\/185_2021_Destinations-for-Geotourism-in-Salpausselka-Geopark_1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/04\/185_2021_Destinations-for-Geotourism-in-Salpausselka-Geopark_1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/04\/185_2021_Destinations-for-Geotourism-in-Salpausselka-Geopark_1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/04\/185_2021_Destinations-for-Geotourism-in-Salpausselka-Geopark_1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/04\/185_2021_Destinations-for-Geotourism-in-Salpausselka-Geopark_1-1110x624.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/04\/185_2021_Destinations-for-Geotourism-in-Salpausselka-Geopark_1-528x297.jpg 528w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/04\/185_2021_Destinations-for-Geotourism-in-Salpausselka-Geopark_1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Image 1.

Linnaistensuo mire is only a 10 minute drive away from the city centre of Lahti, and climbing Aurinkovuori Hill can be started from the centre of V\u00e4\u00e4ksy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though many choose to visit the best known landscape destination of the area, Pulkkilanharju, briefly driving through on a car trip, the esker offers a lot more than that if you out try the local nature trail. In addition to Pulkkilanharju, also some other destinations of Salpausselk\u00e4 Geopark can be excellent additions to a car trip in the area. The stairs of Salpa-Suppa in Hollola can provide an arena for a short sports session, as well as an easy expedition to one of the most distinctive types of ice-age formations of the area, a kettle hole. Climbing the Aurinkovuori Hill in Asikkala takes a little more effort but rewards the visitor with a breathtaking view over Lake P\u00e4ij\u00e4nne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/04\/185_2021_Destinations-for-Geotourism-in-Salpausselka-Geopark_2-1024x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/04\/185_2021_Destinations-for-Geotourism-in-Salpausselka-Geopark_2-1024x600.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/04\/185_2021_Destinations-for-Geotourism-in-Salpausselka-Geopark_2-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/04\/185_2021_Destinations-for-Geotourism-in-Salpausselka-Geopark_2-768x450.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/04\/185_2021_Destinations-for-Geotourism-in-Salpausselka-Geopark_2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Image 2.

Aurinko-Ilves and P\u00e4ij\u00e4nne-Ilves trails are a connection to Evo Hiking area, the first one from V\u00e4\u00e4ksy and the second from Padasjoki. The old market trail Juustopolku between Heinola and Vuolenkoski introduces you to forest wilderness, rocky hills and a touch of cultural landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer less adrenaline-rush activities, fishing in Hammonjoki River or sup-boarding on Vesij\u00e4rvi might be your thing. For the water sports loving, the pristine waters and the island chains of P\u00e4ij\u00e4nne National Park can be irresistible, and also diving might be an option for you. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-white-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#b3edfb\">Author<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#b3edfb\"><strong>P\u00e4ivi Tommola<\/strong>, M.
