Eastern Gulf of Finland National Park Helsinki

The Eastern Gulf of Finland National Park, or as it is known in the local Finnish language, Itaisen Suomenlahden Kansallispuisto, can be found in Southern Finland, covering about 6.7 square kilometers, or 2.6 square miles, of land. The park consists entirely of small islands and islets, where you’ll find lush forestation, mostly in the form of tall pine trees, though many of these islands are completely treeless, with nothing but rock and steep shorelines. This sheerness is a result of rapakivi granite’s natural tendency to split into sharp, cubical shapes.
