Hiidenportti National Park, National park in Sotkamo, Finland
Hiidenportti spans 45 square kilometers of mixed terrain containing coniferous forests, mires, canyons, and vertical cliffs in central Finland.
The establishment of Hiidenportti National Park in 1982 followed decades of traditional slash-and-burn farming that modified sections of the woodland landscape.
The name Hiidenportti translates to 'Hiisi's Gate' in Finnish, referring to the steep gorge formation that stands as the central feature.
The park maintains 30 kilometers of marked trails with facilities including rental huts, cooking areas, campfire sites, and information shelters throughout the grounds.
Research conducted in 1992 documented 350 butterfly species within the park boundaries, including rare specimens like Catocala adultera and Xestia sincera.
