Walking on them provides close views of moss, water plants, and surrounding trees. For travelers, wooden boardwalks offer safe and comfortable access to are

What to See & Do

  • ❄️ Traverse the Soidinsuo mire on elevated planks for a true “White Silence” experience 🧣 📍
  • 📸 Photograph frost-coated marsh reeds against the low-hanging “Blue Moment” sun 🌅 ✨
  • 🔍 Look for animal tracks (hares or lynx) crossing the flat, white surface of the bog 🐾 🖼️
  • 🌲 Experience the minimalist beauty of stunted “dwarf” pines in the nutrient-poor peatlands 🪵 😋
  • 🦢 Spot the frozen remains of summer’s “floating peat rafts” on Lake Mustalampi 🧊 ✅

How to Get There

Travel Tips

  • ⛸️ Wear “Ice Spikes”—frozen wooden boardwalks are much more slippery than forest soil 🩹 ⚠️
  • 🧣 Dress in windproof layers; open wetlands offer no protection from the biting Arctic wind 🧥 🥇
  • 🔦 Carry a headlamp—the white snow on the marshes reflects the last light, but the forest dims at 3:30 PM 🔦 🛡️
  • ⚠️ Watch for “hidden water” under thin snow near the edges of the boardwalks 🛑 ✅
