About Kurjenrahka National Park
Kurjenrahka National Park (Finnish: Kurjenrahkan kansallispuisto, Swedish: Kurjenrahka nationalpark) is a national park in Southwest Finland. It was established in 1998 and covers 29 square kilometres (11 sq mi). The area consists mainly of bog but also includes primeval forests, some of which have been unmanaged for over 150 years. The northern lynx is a permanent resident of Kurjenrahka, but Eurasian brown bears and Eurasian wolves have also been observed and are known to reside in areas within or close to the park. Marked trails in the general area extend to over 300 km. It includes several lakes, such as Mynäjärvi.
