Valkmusa National Park, National park in Kymenlaakso, Finland

Valkmusa National Park extends across 17 square kilometers featuring natural open bogs, wetlands, and over 30 different types of swamp environments.

The Finnish government established this protected area in 1996 to preserve the largest unbuilt forest, marsh, and lake region in southeastern Finland.

The Purple-bordered Gold butterfly represents the emblem species of this national park, reflecting the local commitment to butterfly conservation.

Visitors can explore the 2.5-kilometer circular trail with duckboards crossing the mires, leading to an observation tower for landscape viewing.

The park contains forty different mire habitats where redshank, pochard, whimbrel, and western ospreys find shelter during their migration periods.
