The story of Lauhanvuori - Hämeenkangas UNESCO Global Geopark begins billions of years ago with a mountainous area, which has since turned into the mire rich landscape we see today.
Please follow the coronavirus guidelines and
restrictions while hiking and camping in the Geopark.
The area is characterised by unique mire nature that can be experienced at the geological sites and on the marked trails. The mire is alive and breathing, hiding fascinating stories between its layers. Moreover, the mire has provided people with a livelihood and been a part of our history.
