Hiking

The Pyhä-Häkki National Park contains the best preserved primeval forests in southern Finland. Trolls and elves are hiding between trees, some of which are 400 years old – or so they say. Embark on the approximately four-mile Kotajärvi Trail and see for yourself if you spot any of them.

Old Giant Tree

Highlight • Natural Monument

Grown in 1518, this tree was the oldest one in the National Park. Since it is not alive anymore, another tree, grown in 1641 owns the title since 2004.

Although the sign states it as the new big tree, the pine tree is actually (since 2004) the oldest tree within the National Park and dates back to 1641. Size and age are pretty impressive, don't you think?

Want more? You can find more information about nature and sights to the right and left of this hiking trail in my hiking book "Finland's National Parks - Hiking in the Pearls of the North". There you will find over 500 pages of accompanying background information on 1,000 kilometers on foot through all of Finland's national parks. My motto: "Walk - See - Understand". Write to me and ask!
