The moorland reserve of Säynäjäsuo-Matalasuo is one of Kainuu’s most important bird habitats. The open marshlands stretch as far as the eye can see, dotted with the shimmering waters of Säynäjäjärvi and smaller salt ponds. The landscape varies from dry bogs to submerged marshes, with narrow channels guiding your way through the wilderness. Keep your eyes and ears open for rare bird species, from the haunting calls of cranes to the graceful flight of whooper swans and marsh harriers.
