Finland is noted for its impressive connection with nature, where 75 per cent of its territory is covered by forests and is home to some 188,000 lakes, forming Europe's largest lake district. Finns celebrate this richness with activities such as camping under the northern lights in winter or enjoying the midnight sun in summer, while national parks such as Pyhä-Luosto and Nuuksio offer unique experiences such as ice climbing and hiking trails between crystal-clear lakes. Biodiversity includes iconic species such as brown bears, grizzly wolves and whooper swans, which inhabit a geography shaped by glaciers, with flat landscapes dotted with drumlins and moraines.
