The national parks are extensive nature conservation areas with the crucial task of ensuring biodiversity and giving people the opportunity to relax and enjoy nature. The parks have marked hiking routes, nature trails and campfire sites. Visitors can also stay overnight in the national parks at designated camping sites or shelters and huts. More information is available on each 40 national park's website.

You should start your hiking trip by getting to know the nature centre that is available for some of the parks. The nature centre will provide you with more information on the area and its services.
