How it works
Pyhä-Häkki National Park
The most magnificent primeval forest in southern Finland.
Pyhä-Häkki National Park is the home of the most beautiful ancient forest in southern Finland. Its old pines, hardened snags and other ancient trees that have been decomposed by bracket fungi have been given protected status.
Half of the national park area is forests and the other half is mires. Kotaneva and Riihineva are among the most impressive mires, and they are also accessible via duckboards.
Pyhä-Häkki is the largest and most impressive primeval forest in Southern Finland. The pines are a thing for Saarijärvi. You can also find your own beloved pine. Take an excursion in the Pyhä-Häkki National Park where there are 400-year-old pines. The biggest tree in the park lived from 1518 to 2004 and it will still stand a long time as a silver gray Kelo pine. It is 26 meters tall and has a circumference of 288 cm. There are hiking trails of 3 and 6 km in the park and the Keski-Suomen maakuntaura hiking route goes through it.
Kotajärven itärannalla on keittokatos, jossa on tulisija, takka ja hella. Varusteina löytyy myös kahvipannu, kattila ja makkaratikkuja. Juomavettä saat opastuspisteen pihassa olevasta kaivosta tai Poika-ahon torpan kaivosta.
Pyhä-Häkki on upea kokemus myös talvella, ikihongat ovat peittyneet valkeaan lumeen ja koskemattomat hanget kutsuvat kulkijaa.
