The Emblem of Torronsuo National Park - CranberryWalk safely over Finland's deepest bog along sturdy duckboard trails. A high birdwatching tower offers fine views over the vast open bog, which is visited by many migrating cranes and geese in spring and autumn. In winter cross-country skiers come to the bog to explore the wide open white wintry scene.

Suitability:  Suitable for day-trips all year. A campfire site suitable for the physically disabled, wide duckboards and an observation platform.
