Juortanansalo-Lapinsuo

The Juortanansalo–Lapinsuo Mire Protection Area is a true wilderness destination, featuring remote backcountry landscapes. It is especially suited for independent hikers, as only 3 kilometers of marked trails are available. Moving beyond these trails requires navigation skills and appropriate equipment. The area contains a variety of mire types, including fen edges and spruce swamps. Most of the forested parts are dominated by old-growth trees, and the region serves as summer pasture for the wild forest reindeer.

Services:

• A small wilderness hut is located northeast of Lake Väärälampi.

• Outside the protection area, there is a lean-to shelter north of Lake Riionlampi.
