Pyhä-Häkki national park

Wander in the most magnificent primeval forest in Southern Finland

Pyhä-Häkki lets you experience the wind in pine trees that are hundreds of years old, the song of the flowing water in brooks, and the scent of the bog. The Riihineva trail (1.4 km) and the Mastomäki trail (3.5 km) are particularly suited for families with children. The most popular route, the Kotajärvi trail (6.5 km), runs around the entire park from wild woods to duckboards. The Tulijärvi trail (17 km) is best for those looking for a longer hike. All routes have been marked on site with dedicated colour symbols.

 

There is a cooking shelter by Kotajärvi with a masonry fireplace and a separate fire pit. You can get drinking water from the well at the information centre.

 

The national park allows temporary camping, which is recommended at the Tulijärvi shelter situated very close to the park. The Poika-aho cabin houses sheep herder vacationers in the summer,and in the spring and autumn the cabin is available for single night rentals.

 

Guided hikes and other services are available from the national park partners, see more details at https://www.luontoon.fi/en/destinations/pyha-hakki-national-park/services/guide-and-experience-services
