Asikkala

Asikkala is known for the Vääksy Canal, which radiates the villa history of the days of yore, and the idyllic old Vääksy. The municipality is located at a junction between lakes Vesijärvi and Päijänne. The Vääksy Canal is a gate between the two waterways and the most famous tourist attraction in Asikkala. The canal area is a picturesque cultural environment well worth visiting.

This summer like in the past years, Asikkala invites you to enjoy its memorable cafés and restaurants, quaint boutiques, wonderful sandy beaches and a wide range of events and cultural attractions. Hikers, cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to explore in the region’s outdoor trails and campsites. ■
