The Pyhä-Häkki National Park contains the best preserved primeval forests in southern Finland. Trolls and elves are hiding between trees, some of which are 400 years old – or so they say. Embark on the approximately four-mile Kotajärvi Trail and see for yourself if you spot any of them.

Old Giant Tree

Highlight • Natural Monument

Grown in 1518, this tree was the oldest one in the National Park. Since it is not alive anymore, another tree, grown in 1641 owns the title since 2004.

Highlight • Natural Monument

Although the sign states it as the new big tree, the pine tree is actually (since 2004) the oldest tree within the National Park and dates back to 1641. Size and age are pretty impressive, don't you think?
