Teijon National Park

Experience the bright lakes and enchanting paths and trail in the forest
Teijo's attractions include peaceful lakes and forests, as well as historic ironworks villages where traditional crafts still thrive. From these picturesque settlements you can head straight out to explore the lakes, seashores, marshes and forests of the national park - and go hiking, canoeing or fishing. You can get a good taste of Teijo on a day trip, but it's also well worth staying over - out in the wilds under a starry sky, or in cosy lodgnings in a charming village.

Hiking

Landscapes & Sceneries

Enjoy the Teijo landscape on your own or take a guided tour. There are about 50 km of marked trails in Teijo. The landscapes of Lake Matildanjärvi (0.6 km from the Kariholma parking area) and the ancient shore of Jeturkasti are accessible to disabled visitors. Trails suitable for schoolchildren and families (1.5- 5.5 km) start by the Lake Matildanjärvi parking area. The more challenging trails (10–20 km) introduce hikers not only to pine forests, mire and lake landscapes, but also to streams and rock crossings.

Matildanjärvi Lake is one of Metsähallitus' special fishing destinations, and it is stocked regularly with rainbow trout large enough to keep.
