Tiilikkajärvi National Park — Attraction in North Eastern Savonia

Tiilikkajärvi National Park is a true gem in the borderlands of North Savonia and Kainuu.

There are approximately 25 km/15.5 miles of trails, with starting points in Pohjoisniemi and Sammakkotammi.

There is a rustic open hut in Koseva and rental huts in Sammakkotammi and Uitto. The Uitonkierto circular trail from Sammakkotammi is 7 km/4.3 miles long and the Tiilikankierto circular trail from Pohjoisniemi is 18 km/11.2 miles long. I truly recommend this lovely and peaceful...
