The deep gorges of Helvetinjärvi National Park were
formed millions of years ago by faults in the bedrock running right through the
area. Today this rugged scenery attracts hikers for both day trips and camping.
From the Park it is possible to walk all the way to Riuttaskorpi recreational
forest and Seitseminen National Park on
hiking routes called Pirkan Taival.
Helvetinjärvi National Park is representative of the variable, wild forest
landscape of the northern part of the former Province of Häme. Special features
of the area include deep rifts, steeply sided lakes, small forest ponds and
remote forests. Helvetinkolu, one of the gorges, has attracted visitors since
1800s, and it is still the most popular destination in the Park.
