Varuskunnan metsät

Kolhontie 536 and many other parking spots. About five kilometres south of the centre. Parts of the area can also be explored from the ski tracks of the sports park. Diverse old forests as separate sites: shores, heathlands, groves, cliffs, streams, and mires. Rich biodiversity: including red-breasted flycatcher and Siberian flying squirrel. The northern forests are rugged wilderness forests, the area around the former garrison is lush in many places, and Peurunniemi offers magnificent views of Keurusselkä. Some mire patches have been restored by damming ditches. Firewood for campfire sites provided. Metsähallitus nature sites. (167 ha)
