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.
