YOU’Re WeLCOMe TO HIKe IN FINLAND!

Finland offers a wide range of

hiking opportunities. Finland is a

country of opposites and contrasts,

which you can enjoy with each of

your senses. Finland is a clean,

quiet country where you can enjoy

the feeling of space, the calm of

the wilderness and the bustle of the

lake districts.

BReATHe: your lungs will fill with

fresh, clean air. You will enjoy it.

TAsTe: the berries and mushrooms

of the forests and their fresh taste.

The white nights give their own

strong aroma to the berries. Finn-

ish food is simple and made from

nature’s own raw materials.

sMeLL: the salty scent of the sea,

the resin of the pine trees, the

sharp bite of autumn in the air. Fin-

land is full of nature’s own smells,

clean and fresh.

FeeL: Take off your shoes and feel

the cool moss under your feet,

wade in a flowing stream or a warm

pond. Feel the coolness of the

spruce forest or the sunlight on

your skin.

HeAR: Finland is quiet and calm. In

the forest you can hear the knock-

ing of the woodpecker, the singing

of the birds, the bustle of the trees.

At the lakes you will hear the lap-

ping waves. It’s like a meditation,

and is guaranteed to carry you away

from everyday routines.

WHAT TO DO

In addition to hiking and day trips,

the observation of nature offers a

huge range of different possibili-

ties. You can observe and admire

nature and get acquainted with its

dwellers. You can pick mushrooms

or berries or wonder at natural

phenomena.

The saimaa ringed sealThe extremely endangered Saimaa

ringed seal lives only in Saimaa.

The ringed seal was isolated in the

Saimaa basin approximately 8,000

years ago, when the connection of

the lakes to the Baltic Sea was cut

off at the end of the Ice Age. The

population is strongly concentrated

in central Saimaa, Pihlajavesi and

Haukivesi.

Photographing and viewing large carnivoresThe quiet sounds of the wilderness

travel far in the misty night, and a

tense excitement is in the air. Es-

pecially in the eastern borderlands,

from North Karelia to Kuusamo,

there are many businesses that ar-

range trips to see large predators.

Bears, wolverines (rare even global-

ly), lynx, wolves and foxes are often

seen at photographing spots.

Bird-watchingLiminka and Siikalahti are popular

destinations for birdwatchers. In

Virolahti the migration of Arctic

birds, Arktika, is the most impres-

sive of the local events in the avian

world. On an arranged bird-watch-

ing trip, you can go deep into

old forests to see the mating of

grouses, or watch the majestic sea

eagles i n t he ar chipelago.

The spacious wilderness of northern Lapland and the magic of the fells – an adventurer’s paradiseIn the wilderness of Lapland you can hike for days without seeing anyone else. The large wilderness areas are uninhabited and almost in their natural state. The footpaths follow age-old tracks. They climb on top of the fells, run through valleys and along riversides.

Popular wilderness destinations in Lapland include the national parks and the numerous large travel centres, such as Levi, Ylläs and Saariselkä. The rugged old forests of the eastern borderlands and the tall hills – a trekker’s dreamThe footpaths run among the deep green fir groves, climbing to the sandy ridges and into a landscape marked by red pine trunks. From the high hills there are splendid views to the blue, glimmering lakes. The most popular of the eastern hiking routes is the Karhunkierros, 80 km long. The varied landscapes and the mystical mood of the eastern borderland hiking route (160 kilometres) will reward the walker. The hiking footpaths in North Karelia go through the most beautiful national landscapes in Finland.

Popular destinations include Ruka, Hossa, Kylmäluoma, Vuokatti, Iso-Syöte and Koli. southern Finland – cultural history and a coast filled with islandsIn southern Finland and along the coast, among the settlements, are old pieces of bedrock, rocky beaches with meadows and ridged islands with sandy beaches. The groves filled with oak, maple, ash and elm trees are in bloom in the spring in a carpet of green. The Salpapolku path in the eastern borderlands (50 kilometres) is a testament to Finland’s war history. Rokua Geopark is the northernmost location in UNESCO’s Global Geoparks Network. Other destinations include Siikalahti, Vironlahti and Liminka, all popular among birdwatchers. The most fabulous sand dunes in the Nordic countries are in Kalajoki and on Yyteri beach in Pori. Finnish Lakeland – the country’s most popular holiday destinationThe hiking footpaths of the Finnish Lakeland are best suited for day trips. At Repovesi, differences in elevation challenge the hiker. From the top of Neitvuori there is a breathtakingly beautiful view of a lake. The national parks of Linnansaari and Päijänne have footpaths that run mainly through easy terrain. The Evo hiking area and the Häme lake highlands give an opportunity to experience quiet, wilderness-like nature near busy towns. In addition to the numerous national parks, popular destinations include the hiking paths of Loma-Päijänne, the Siikalahti birdwatching path and the Oskari and Nestori nature centres near Savonlinna.
