Hiking and Outdoor Activities

Tammela and its neighboring municipalities have a truly diverse range of natural attractions.

Both Liesjärvi and Torronsuo national parks are located in Tammela and there are several other hiking destinations as well, such as Saari Folk Park and Ruostejärvi Recreation Area.

Almost equally close are also Pääjärvi Recreation Area, clear-water Melkuttimet, Komio Nature Reserve and the Poronpolku Trail, which runs partly through the Komio area.

Slightly different types of hiking destinations can be found in the Forssa National Urban Park, where diverse nature combines with culturally and historically significant sites. The nearly 1,000-hectare park includes city parks, swimming beaches, a birdwatching tower, a frisbee golf course, a recreational forest etc. The Loimijoki River flows between the different areas of the park.

Since the hiking trails in the region are relatively short, they are well suited for day hikes and also for hiking with children. At the end of the day, you can stay in the nearby area and take a sauna, and the next day after breakfast, head for a new trail.

However, most of the above mentioned nature destinations also have hiking connections to the over 250 km long Häme Ilves Trail, so even long hikes in the Häme Lakeland area are possible.
