Teerimire – Losomire / Teerisuo-Lososuo

Teerisuon–Lososuon Trails

The Teerisuon–Lososuon mire protection area offers hiking trails that meander across open mires and small forested islands. The paths are equipped with boardwalks, but please note that many of them are in very poor condition. It is highly recommended to wear rubber boots for this hike. In addition to marked trails, off-trail travel is permitted in the area; however, especially during spring and early summer, it is best to stay on trails to protect nesting birds.

A trail from the Teerisuon–Lososuon area also leads southwest toward Hiidenportti National Park.
