Valkmusa is a special and less well-known destination in Kymenlaakso, where the untouched mire nature provides an amazing experience. More than 40 different mire types have been identified in the Valkmusa National Park area, which is an exceptionally large amount for Southern Finland. The mire stimulates your senses during all the different seasons. Listen to the concert of thousands of migratory birds in the spring and the sound of fluttering butterfly and moth wings on hot summer days. In the autumn, enjoy the vivid colours of sphagnum moss and the sour taste of cranberries. Try skiing across a mire covered with snow in the winter. There are two marked trails in Valkmusa National Park. In terms of length, both trails are ideal for the whole family.
- Unique and valuable mire nature
- Rare butterfly species and a wide variety of bird species
- Photogenic mire landscapes
- The rugged rock walls of Moronvuori Hill
- An excellent skiing and snowshoeing destination in winter
- No crowds
