The trails of the Ancient Mountains

The hiking trails travel along paths and narrow roads through the varying forests of Teuva and a nearby town Karijoki. You can follow these trails for a quick trip into the nature, or take a full day hiking in the woods. Along these trails you can also find small lodges suitable for overnight stay and multiple lean-to-shelters as well.

These particular trails are marked with poles and signs for easy following.

The trails of the Ancient Mountains can be accessed from several points. In Parra, a good starting point can be found in the Luonto-Parra yard. There is also a information board with maps for your convenience. Parking is easy in the spacious parking lot.
