The hiking areas in Finland are diverse. You can find expansive forests and marshlands as well as peaceful lake landscapes. When it comes to official hiking or recreational areas or folkparks (people’s parks), these areas are often equipped with excellent hiking structures, such as marked guide signs and rest spots, and sometimes even observation towers. Many hiking areas also have a variety of clearly marked trails that lead you directly to the most beautiful natural spots of the area.
People’s parks and recreational areas are often relatively close to cities, providing easy access to the embrace of nature. They usually have well-maintained paths, barbecue spots, and even beaches, making them perfect destinations for day trips.
