Lietteiden reitti in Yyteri

The easy Lietteiden reitti trail connects the dune area of Yyteri sands with the Yyteri silts Bird Shore, all the way to the border of the Bothnian Sea National Park. Enjoy the atmosphere of the coastal forests and meadows and admire the views from the nature observation platforms to the reed-fringed silts. The area is the country's most famous wader migration hotspot, where around 30 wader species are found each year. Here you can also observe the dashing shelduck, the signature species of the Yyteri silts. The route is busiest in spring and autumn during the bird migration, but its flatness makes it suitable for the whole family to walk all year round. In winter, the trail can be slippery (no winter maintenance) and we recommend rubber boots during the spring thaw. Several bird watching and nature observation platforms as well as wooden duckboards give this trail a nice rythm. You can enjoy your own picnic lunch while admiring the scenery from the nature observation platforms or at the northern point of the route at the Munakari Spit rest area with a campfire and sea views.
