This is a place not many know or go to! But it has beautiful views of the wilderness and it's very quiet. You can admire the fell views from the peak of Pyhä-Nattanen (508 m). The scenery opening up from the summit is dominated by the Nattastunturit Fells chain to the northeast. Nestling by Pyhä-Nattanen Fell is the small, wilderness like Sukkulalampi Pond, which you can admire from the felltop. Further away looms the broad, undivided fell area of the Urho Kekkonen National Park.

Only during summer and autumn. I don't recommend in the winter unless you know what you're doing.

Parking at "pyhä nattanen pysäköinti alue" on Google Maps.

The trail's starting and ending points are at different parking areas. When hiking the entire circle trail, the length of the hike is 7 km. The trail pops onto the Pyhä-Nattanen Summit and runs along the Nalijoki riverside. The shortest route to the summit is from the eastern parking area. The round trip is approximately 3.5 km. There is no water point on this section. The trail has been reinforced in forested sections to prevent it from spreading. As you approach the summit, the rocky terrain becomes more rugged, and at the top, the trail passes over large slab stones and boulders to the peak. Hiking or trekking boots are necessary, and the route is suitable for those accustomed to walking in challenging terrain.
