The initial part of the hiking trail on Fatisaari winds through varied terrain until vast bog landscapes unfold before your eyes. Thanks to over a kilometer-long boardwalk, you can admire the marsh landscapes with dry feet. Along this boardwalk, hikers can breathe in the scent of the marsh and take a break at the majestic rock on Fatisaari’s summit, where there is a lean-to shelter. Later, you get to enjoy the beautiful nature once again as you follow the same trail back to the starting point.

Fisheries Management Fee
The fisheries management fee is required if you are 18–69 years of age and will be fishing with lures or traps or crayfishing.
The fisheries management fee entitles you to fish in nearly the entire country using one rod. In some cases, however, anglers will require the permission of the owner of a given water area. Proceeds from the fisheries management fee are used to manage fishing waters and fish stocks as well as monitor fishing activity and provide advice to anglers.

The Tuomaanmäki area is a nature reserve that includes a Bronze Age burial mound. The mounds have been excavated, and stones have been removed. From one of them, apparently, all stones have been taken, leaving only a circular arrangement of stones locally referred to as “käräjäkivet” or judge’s circle. This is the origin of the place’s former name, Tuomarmäki. Tuomaanmäki is an environmentally and geographically splendid Bronze Age burial mound site with significant natural values. Along the route, hikers have the opportunity to explore ancient burial mounds, a “giant’s kettle” (which is not actually a giant’s kettle), diverse nature, and take a break at a campfire site. One of the stories from the mobile game “Tarinapolku” can be found here.

In Vuoressalo, the hiker can ascend from the fields to the top of the majestic white cliffs amidst nature. The cliffs conceal much to see and experience in their shadows. In Vuoressalo, there are many peculiar rock formations, the origins of which have been the subject of speculation over the years. On the current basic map of the area, for example, there is a location called “pakouuni,” a place that, according to legend, is a low, built wall that the farmers participating in the club wars of the 16th century constructed as protection. At the site, there is a natural crack in the rock that forms an approximately 2-meter-high vault. The area is marked by superstition, and these places have not been daringly investigated thoroughly by the locals.

- Length: Two approximately 2 km circular routes
