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.

A fire can be also lit in fireplaces at wilderness and other huts. Always use extreme caution when handling fire. The one who lights a fire is always responsible for its safe use. Please note, that making fire at these campfire sites can be banned locally. 

Gathering at the campfire sites increases the risk of coronavirus infection. Guidelines concerning coronavirus COVID-19
