Aitoneva nature trail in Kihniö
The Aitoneva nature trail presents the flora and fauna of the mires and forests on an old peat production field that is regenerating to a mire. The impact of peat production is still visible in the terrain as large marshy pools and peat ridges bordering them. However, vegetation has covered the traces of work, and the landscape has slowly reverted to a new mosaic of mire and forest. Along the trail, there is an old peat production machine, the drag bucket, as a sight. The trail follows dry peat ridges, with boardwalks over wet sections.
The trail is maintained by Neova Oy. The route is marked in the terrain with signposts. Guidance is complemented by a GPX track available on Outdooractive.
