    Vääksy Canal is one of Finland’s most popular inland waterways, connecting Lake Vesijärvi to Lake Päijänne in the heart of Asikkala. Built in the 1870s, it’s still in use today and attracts both boaters and visitors interested in watching the lock system in action. The canal area is lively in summer, with cafés, local shops, and a marina creating a pleasant atmosphere. Cyclists can enjoy well-maintained paths along the canal, making it an ideal place for a relaxed break. It’s a flat and accessible area, perfect for a short stop without the need for special gear.
