Säynäjäsuo – Matalasuo

The 10 km hiking route marked in red starts from the parking area. The path through extended bogs and pine forests also goes outside the bog protection areas. The route around Säynäjäsuo alone is 8.3 km long.

Fire pit, weather shelter and hut. The hut is not intended for overnight stays, but camping is allowed.

The route does not have winter maintenance, but the parking lot at the starting point of the route has been plowed in the spring and winter of 2023. You can move around the area with, for example, forest skis or snowshoes.

From the center of Suomussalmi, drive Viitostie (E63) south about 5 km. Next, turn left onto Moisiovaarantie, which you drive for about 8 km. After this, the Säynäjäsuo – Matalasuo parking area and the starting point of the route is on the right side of the road.
