Pöröpeikko Trail – In the Footsteps of the Ice Age in Parikkala

Embark on an adventure into the heart of the forest and marvel at landscapes shaped by the ancient Ice Age!

Located in Parikkala, Pöröpeikko Trail offers a unique and slightly more athletic nature experience for those seeking genuine forest tranquility. Although the trail 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 nature: Along the trail, you'll discover the most peculiar traces left by the Ice Age, such as impressive and unusually shaped erratics. They make the route visually very interesting.

• Atmospheric snack break: To counterbalance the hilly terrain, there's a lean-to along the trail, a wonderful spot to sit down, enjoy your snacks, grill sausages, and listen to the quiet forest.
