Leikkuukohdat

Leikkuukohdat, also known as Leikkuukohdat National Park, is a protected area located in the northern part of Finland. Established in 1982, the park covers an area of approximately 1,200 square kilometers and is part of the larger Lapland region. The park is renowned for its diverse and pristine wilderness, which includes vast forests, numerous lakes, and the scenic Leikkuukohdat River. The landscape is characterized by its rugged terrain, with hills and mountains reaching heights of up to 300 meters above sea level.

The park is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including the European brown bear, moose, and various bird species. The area's biodiversity is supported by its remote location and the absence of significant human activity. Leikkuukohdat National Park is also significant for its cultural heritage, with indigenous Sami people having a long history of inhabiting the region. The park offers opportunities for hiking, fishing, and wildlife observation, attracting both local and international visitors.

Leikkuukohdat National Park is managed by the Finnish Forest and Park Service, which works to preserve the park's natural and cultural resources. The park is open to the public for recreational activities, but certain areas may be restricted to protect sensitive habitats or to maintain the park's ecological balance. Visitors are encouraged to follow designated trails and respect the park's regulations to minimize their impact on the environment.
