Teijo National Park Trails
There are about 50 km of marked trails in Teijo National Park. Most of them are 2 - 8 km long, and suitable for day trips, but by combining them it is possible to make a hiking trip that lasts for a weekend. The trails are marked, and there are duckboards going through the damp areas. Along the trails, there are campfire sites, lean-to shelters, and fishing spots.
