This largest oasis swamp area in Southern Finland in Torronsuo National Park is about 8,500 years old. A swamp this old has many stories to tell, but it needs an interpreter for its words so that we can understand. The healer lady takes travelers through stories to the mystical powers and old ways of using wild plants, combining history and the present into a whole that supports and strengthens the relationship with nature.
After this trip, you have greeted Tapio, cupped water and smelled herbs. And watch out, you might see a shaman.
The walk in Torronsuo is less than two kilometers. In addition to duck-boards, the terrain is a wide path with a sandy surface. The trip is suitable for adults in basic physical condition, and does not require special equipment. Take your own water bottle with you. Best time for this guided trip is from may to october.
