Kauhaneva–Pohjankangas National Park, National park and wetland reserve in Southern Ostrobothnia, Finland
The park extends across 57 square kilometers of peatlands, dry pine forests, and glacial esker formations between Kauhajoki and Karvia municipalities.
The establishment of Kauhaneva-Pohjankangas National Park in 1982 marked a milestone in protecting Finland's largest remaining natural concentric bog systems.
The park contains 38 archaeological sites that document human presence in the region through different historical periods of Finnish settlement.
Visitors can explore the 2.6-kilometer Kauhalammi trail with duckboards and rest stops, while the Salomaa campsite provides facilities for overnight stays.
The wetland complex serves as a critical staging area for migrating birds, including bean geese and cranes, while supporting permanent populations of gray wolves and lynx.
