Rugged rocky gorges in the wild backwoods!

The canyons of Hiidenportti are an impressive sight. Along the path leading to the main gorge you can experience shady spruce forest, a flowery meadow and woodland that used to be cleared periodically by slash-and-burn farmers.

The park has many fascinating places and stories for anyone interested in cultural history to discover.
