Why — the layers that apply here
protected zone
4 areas: Kolovesi - Vaaluvirta - Pyttyselkä · Linnansaari · Kakonsalon järvialue · Pihlajavesi
Protected-area designation: the rule of the protected area applies here in addition to the municipal one, and it usually makes the penalty harsher.

Where the line lies between parking, sleeping and camping
camping · Finland
Camping is forbidden outside a campsite or designated zone. What changes from one country to another is which gesture crosses the line:
- Line 1: 4 § forbids «liikkua, pysäyttää tai pysäköidä» in maasto — parking is already forbidden
- Line 2: taking out an awning, chairs, a table or a barbecue = leiriytyminen, outside the jokaisenoikeudet
- Layer 3, the one that gets forgotten: 5 § 2 mom requires nuisance to be avoided; NOISE AT 2 A.M. may be the offence, not sleeping
