07/10/2025
Hossa National Park offers a variety of easy and inspiring routes where the whole family can enjoy nature together. The Huosilampi Nature Trail is an ideal choice for families with children – a short adventure filled with discoveries, forest scents, and fun pinecone trail markers leading the way to a cozy campfire stop.

Hossa National Park is the perfect place for small and big outdoor adventures. Gentle forest paths, clear lakes, and the peaceful atmosphere of nature make it easy to spend time outdoors – even for just a few hours.

The Huosilampi Nature Trail is a family favorite. It’s short, easy to follow, and full of things to explore for all ages. Along the way, you can admire old pines, study the shapes of the forest, and follow the playful new pinecone signs guiding the way.

Children especially enjoy spotting the next sign, counting pinecones, and listening to the sounds of nature. The highlight of the hike is the Huosilampi campfire site, where you can rest, have a snack, and enjoy a cup of hot cocoa together.

“I liked that the trail markers had been renewed – Emppu was so excited about them!” says Darja, who visited Hossa with her family.

The nature trails of Hossa invite you to slow down, move together, and enjoy being outdoors. For children it’s an adventure – for adults, a peaceful moment in the forest.

Tip: Pack a small backpack, snacks, and a thermos of cocoa. Take your time – there’s no hurry on the trails of Hossa.
