The “Paljakka Strict Nature Reserve“ is the only area in the Arctic Lakeland (even the only one in Southern Lapland) where there are still large areas of untouched forest. Strict nature reserves special areas established by law or by statute and to be kept in natural state for the purpose of research. Their protection regulations are stricter than those of national parks, which is why nature parks are usually closed to the public. The “Paljakka Strict Nature Reserve“ is one of the few strict nature reserves open to the public. You are invited to join our guided excursion to Paljakka Strict Nature Reserve. It is a magnificent destination for a day trip, offering a unique experience in the untouched Finnish nature.
