Pyhä-Häkki National Park is one of the smallest National Parks in Finland, located in a sparsely populated area surrounded by forests. Pyhä-Häkki has untouched old-growth forests and trees of great age. Many rare birds, insects and plants have found shelter of the very old trees.

Pyhä-Häkki is suitable for day trips - also in the winter. By following the marked hiking trails visitors can get an impression of the diverse natural features of the area.
