Palosaari Nature Trail, 2 km
The nature trail circulates in the forest landscape, in the surroundings of a restored forest ranger's farm. You can explore bird and tree species of different forest types along the trail. It is worth to take a look around during the berry season – there are good berry and mushroom sites in the nearby forests of Palosaari.
Located in the border areas of Pyhäjoki and Vihanti, Palosaari served as a forest ranger's farm between 1861 and 1975. The restored 19th century farm and its cottage milieu are one of the oldest forest ranger's farms of Metsähallitus. Nowadays, Palosaari is a model farm of the game services, where 27 ideal areas for different game species have been established. In 2009, the farm was awarded an international Wildlife Estates acknowledgment.
