Description:
Teijo’s attractions include peaceful lakes and forests, as well as historic ironworks villages where traditional crafts still thrive. You can get a good taste of Teijo National Park on a day trip visiting accesible trails at Jeturkasti and at Kariholma, but it’s also well worth overnighting in cosy lodgnings in the charming villages of Mathildedal and of Kirjakkala. The 600 m long and 2.5 m wide Kariholma Trail ends at the shores of Lake Matildanjärvi. An assistant is needed with a wheelchair due to few inclines and descents. There are few benches along the trail. By the shore there is an accessible cooking shelter and firewood shelter, an accessible dry toilet and an accessible boat stage. From the stage, you may fish provided that you have a fishing permit. Lighting campfire in the cooking shelter is also allowed during a forest fire alarm.
