Pöröpeikko Trail – On the Trail of the Ice Age in Parikkala

Go on an adventure deep into the forest and marvel at the landscapes shaped by the ancient Ice Age!

The Pöröpeikko Trail in Parikkala offers a unique and slightly more sporty nature experience for those who crave the true peace of the forest. Although the route is only about three kilometers long, it is relatively demanding due to its undulating and hilly terrain. This trail is an excellent choice for active outdoor enthusiasts and adventurous hikers!

Fascinating details and a well-deserved break:

• A journey through time in nature: Along the trail, you will find the strangest signs left by the ice age, such as spectacular and unusually shaped boulders. They make the route visually very interesting.

• An emotional snack: To counterbalance the hilly terrain, there is a lean-to along the route, where it is lovely to sit and enjoy a snack, fry a sausage and listen to the quiet forest.
