Hiking routes and trails

In addition to the Yyteri sands, you can head for the Yyteri bird shore, a particular favourite of waders. We do recommend the silt shore to all birdwatchers. The silt shore is around 3-5 km from the sand dunes, depending on where you start. You can also take the longer route and take in parts of the Bothnian Sea National Park. The route is marked with signs and the bird shore area is covered with duckboards. Thanks to the numerous platforms, access to the bird shore is easy. There are in fact several platforms and 15 viewing towers for nature enthusiasts along the route. Meanwhile, there are more than 30 kilometres of hiking trails.

Yyteri is also so much more

The area also includes Reposaari, Kallo and Ahlainen and the picturesque scenery. Charming wooden houses, seafood restaurants, the church and the exciting fortress are only a few of the experiences available in Reposaari.

The Bothnian Sea National Park invites you for an adventure on its waes and shores. If you`re lucky, you might even see some grey seals or white-tailed eagles. The island destinations of Säppi and Iso-Enskeri can also be visited by joining a boat trip organised during the summer season.
