Natural landscape in the National Park
Pyhä-Luosto is the southernmost big fell area in Finland and it’s made of one of the oldest rocks in the world, having been formed 2000 million years ago. Consisting of hard quartzites, the ancient mountains of the National Park have withstood erosion and have been polished during the Ice Age to round fells.
Signs of all of the geological transformations can still to be seen along the trails. Between the peaks lie deep gorges and of which Isokuru Gorge is particularly popular as it’s the deepest gorge in Finland and has a beautiful hiking trail going through it. A good viewpoint is the challenging Noitatunturi, which is the highest peak, as well as Ukko-Luosto Fell in the Northern part of the National Park. Treeless fell tops are surrounded by ancient forests, some of them are over 400 years old. Lower down the scenery is dominated by wide Aapa mires.
The vegetation in the Pyhä-Luosto National Park is typical for Finnish Lapland and numerous animals enjoy its nature. The southernmost Fell Birches in Finland grow in Pyhä-Luosto. A frequent visitor is the friendly bird, siberian jay, which also adorns the logo of the National Park. But also otters, brown bears, moose, reindeer and numerous other bird species live in the Pyhä-Luosto National Park wilderness.
