Salamajärvi National Park

The national park spans 62 square kilometers across three municipalities: Perho, Kivijärvi, and Kinnula, featuring diverse mire ecosystems and wilderness landscapes.

Established in 1982, the park preserves ancient stone stoves and tar pits from the 19th century along the seven-kilometer Pahapuro trail.

The area maintains traditional Finnish wilderness practices through educational programs that teach visitors about local ecosystems and sustainable nature interactions.

Visitors access the park primarily through Koirasalmi Nature Information Hut, which provides accommodations, meals, and serves as the starting point for 70 kilometers of trails.

The park contains Heikinjärvenneva, a substantial fen where visitors can observe lapwings, snipes, and whimbrels from an observation tower.
