In Salamajärvi National
Park it is possible to hike in wilderness-like landscape, on the peaceful paths
following the tracks of the Wild Forest Reindeer.
Salamajärvi is located in the beautiful rugged watershed region of
Suomenselkä. This large, uninhabited area is especially known for its diverse
mire ecosystems and its set of wilderness animals. There are also old-growth
forests and peaceful forest lakes in their natural state. In the landscape,
large open bogs with their forested islets alternate with dry rocky pine
forests. At some place the rocky ground turns into continuous stone fields.
