Saarijarvi

Saarijärvi lies along Lake Saarijärvi in Central Finland’s lake district, where wooded shores and a chain of inland waters shape a gently rolling interior landscape. The town stands in the Suomenselkä region, a broad watershed between western and eastern Finnish river systems, giving the area a distinctly inland character. Saarijärvi is closely associated with “Saarijärven Paavo”, J. L. Runeberg’s poem about a farmer whose story became a Finnish symbol of endurance. Lakes, forests and snowy winters continue to set the rhythm of life in the surrounding rural area. Browse other webcams across Mainland Finland to place Saarijärvi in a wider geographic context.
