Hiking

The nearly six-kilometer Hiidenkierros Trail takes you deep into the wilderness of the Hiidenportii National Park. The highlight of the tour is the impressive Hiidenportii gorge, where the rock faces plunge down up to twenty meters steeply to the water. Typical moor and forest landscapes alternate with each other along the paths. Go ahead and take a deep breath is the motto!

The loop starts at the Vuokatti Holiday Resort car park. From here you first hike past the idyllic Palolampi and continue towards the gorge. The view from the cliff edge is breathtaking! About halfway you can take a break at the Porttilampi refuge. If you have a little more time and brought something to grill with you, enjoy the wilderness around the cozy campfire before you make your way back.
