Kurjenrahka National Park, National park in Southwestern Finland.
The protected area spans 29 square kilometers of raised bogs, ancient forests, and wetlands in the Finland Proper region near Turku.
The national park was established in 1998 to preserve the largest connected mire complex in southwestern Finland and its surrounding old-growth forests.
The park's name derives from the Finnish word 'kurki' meaning crane, as these migratory birds make the wetlands their summer residence.
Visitors can explore the park through marked trails, including the 6-kilometer Savojärvi circle trail and the 2-kilometer accessible Kurjenpesä trail.
The park contains forest islands that emerge from the bogs, creating a natural labyrinth pattern across the landscape.
