Pyhä-Häkki National Park, National park in Saarijärvi, Finland.

The park spans 13 square kilometers of land, containing ancient pine trees, spruce forests, and extensive bog networks throughout its territory.

The national park's establishment, initially planned in the 1930s, faced delays due to World War II and was finally created in 1956.

The former residents of Poika-aho croft passed down stories about forest creatures through generations, maintaining the local Finnish heritage.

The park offers 30 kilometers of marked trails, basic facilities including cooking shelters, dry toilets, and a rental hut for visitors.

Pine trees reaching 400 years of age display visible marks from past forest fires, presenting physical evidence of natural events.
