Lauhanvuori National Park & Nature excursions

Trip to the national park

Next to Lauhansarvi lies Lauhanvuori National Park, where you can experience nature at its most authentic. It is easy to explore the wilderness along the park’s trails, as well as on winter ski tracks or with snowshoes. Campfire sites and an observation tower provide clear landmarks for exploration.

It is easy to move around the national park on your own with packed food. However, you can get more out of the experience by joining a guided “Taikapolku” (Magic Trail) tour, which leads you into the secrets of the area. During the excursion, you can explore nature and local history in depth, do various activities, or enjoy snacks or even full meals by the campfire.

Lauhansarvi also serves as an excellent base if you are heading to Kauhaneva-Pohjankangas National Park (35 km away).
