Seitseminen National Park
Ancient boreal forests and open bogs in Finland's Suomenselkä watershed region
Seitseminen combines old-growth spruce and pine forest with sphagnum bogs, and some of its forest is among the oldest that the public can reach in Finland. The Kovero Farm, a tenant farm established in 1859, adds a cultural heritage area to the woodland.
