Some places invite you to slow down the moment you arrive. Tiilikkajärvi National Park is one of them — a landscape shaped by water, sand, and time, where forests meet clear lakes and silence feels natural. Here, wide shores, soft trails, and open skies create the perfect setting for a few days away from routine.

During the trip, you explore the heart of the national park on a guided hike lasting around four to five hours. The route follows easy terrain and leads through pine forests, along the famous sandy shores of Venäjänhiekka, and past quiet waters where an old border stone still marks the meeting point of history and nature. The guide shares stories about the area, its landscapes, and its past, while the pace remains calm and unhurried. There is time to walk, pause, breathe, and enjoy the surroundings without rush.

You stay at a cozy guesthouse near the park, where days begin with breakfast and end with sauna and a warm dinner. Everything is arranged for a comfortable stay: accommodation, meals, guiding, and transport to the hiking area. Evenings are spent relaxing, sharing the day’s impressions, or simply enjoying the quiet. Join this journey to experience Tiilikkajärvi the way it’s meant to be — slowly, naturally, and close to the land!
