Wander the wilderness

The ancient forests of Hossa National Park, its towering cliffs, and crystal-clear streams, lakes, and brooks invite you to connect with timeless nature. Move like an ancient hunter by hiking or paddling, listen to the silence of the forested canyons, the murmur of a brook, and the songs of woodland birds. Build a fire at one of our well-maintained campfire sites and let the landscape to work its magic – pause for a moment, close your eyes, and let your senses awaken to nature: the whisper of the wind through pine needles, the gentle lap of waves against the shore.

When standing before the dramatic canyon walls of Julma Ölkky or gazing upon the mysterious rock paintings of Värikallio, you will feel a connection to those who walked these paths thousands of years before. Here, time seems to slow down, allowing you to forge your own timeless bond with the wilderness.

The park caters to every adventurer’s spirit. Beginners can stroll along accessible boardwalks, while seasoned outdoor enthusiasts can tackle challenging mountain biking routes. The network of pristine lakes and rivers creates a paddler’s paradise, where crystal-clear waters mirror the sky and promise excellent fishing opportunities for those seeking Arctic grayling or northern pike.
In Hossa, you can choose your own path—whether by kayak, on foot, by bicycle, or with a wheelchair.
