The flora and fauna in Petikko are diverse. A small open mire may suddenly appear on the other side of a dense forest, and the impressive wetland scenery in Keimola’s Isosuo is hard to beat. There are ample fields and meadows between forests. The Petikko area offers genuine wilderness experiences in the old forests of the Natura 2000 network and cultural landscapes dating back hundreds of years.

Making a fire is permitted only in the marked campfire sites. When a forest and grass fire warning is in place, making a fire is completely forbidden.
