Parc national de Valkmusa walks

In the heart of Valkmusa National Park, in southern coastal Finland, this circular walk takes you through one of the largest peat bogs on the Finnish coast. The Simonsaari trail initially winds its way along boardwalks through a sparse birch forest, before opening out onto the vast, open expanse of the domed peat bog, dotted with pools and dwarf pines. At its centre, an observation tower offers sweeping views over the bog and its forest edge. It is a renowned spot for birdwatching, particularly for waders passing through in spring. An ideal nature outing for an easy walk, bringing you up close to a fragile and unspoilt environment.
