Tiilikkajärvi National Park
Barren esker-split lake, pine ridges and aapa bogs in eastern Finland
Two esker capes, Pohjoisniemi and Kalmoniemi, almost divide the barren Tiilikkajärvi lake in half, with beaches all around its shore. Pine-covered ridges look out over the lake and the surrounding aapa bogs.
