Kainuu: Vuokatti, Hiidenportti & Tiilikkajärvi 1:25 000 - Hiking Map

Bears, wolverines, lynx, and wolves are found in the forests of the watershed region. The most important bird species in terms of conservation are the forest goose, the crane, the osprey, and the black-throated loon. The three-toed woodpecker and the Siberian jay thrive in spruce forests.

The 10-kilometer Kitula Trail takes you not only to the sights along the Hiidenkierros Trail but also to magnificent spruce forests, marshlands, and the ruins of logging camps. You can take a break at the lean-tos by Porttilampi and Kitulanlampi, for example.  

The Tiilika area is a valuable transition zone between wetland and forest types, where northern and southern characteristics intermingle. The forests are typically barren heath forests dominated by pine. The lake landscape is dominated by narrow ridges, one of which divides Lake Tiilikkajärvi almost in half. The shores are lined with light-colored sandy beaches, the jewel of which is Venäjänhiekka.

Of the marked trails, the most popular is the Uitto Loop. The Virvatulten Trail leads through the giant’s kettle at Pumpulikirkko to Rautavaara’s Metsäkartano. Tiilikka is part of the restored Tiilikka-Älänne canoeing route.

Vuokatti’s famous ski trails, totaling 150 kilometers, are perfect for hikers and mountain bikers in the summer. There are rest shelters every few kilometers.
