Teijo National Park – Outdoor adventures and historic ironworks villages

Teijo National Park is a varied outdoor destination in Southwest Finland, combining beautiful lake landscapes, dense forests and high cliffs close to the archipelago. It’s an excellent place for paddling, cycling and relaxed day hikes—especially when you want accommodation, lakes and marked trails all close by. Your visit is also enriched by the historic ironworks villages of Teijo, Kirjakkala and Mathildedal, where you can enjoy culture, cafés, restaurants and an idyllic setting.

Metsäravintola at Teijo Nature Centre (summer season 2026)

In the 2026 summer season, Teijo Nature Centre will be served by a new Metsäravintola. The idea is simple: make delicious food in the middle of the forest, in Teijo National Park, using seasonal harvest and local ingredients such as Finnish berries, game and wild herbs.

For hikers and day visitors, the menu includes treats like pastries, pinsa, fresh salads and salmon soup.

Accommodation, paddling and biking in Teijo National Park

Natura Viva offers a range of accommodation options in Teijo National Park, surrounded by nature. Near the Nature Centre you’ll find a 19-pitch caravan area, a Tentsile tree tent, and two rentable cabins. On the north shore of Lake Matildanjärvi, there is also a rentable kota.

In the 2026 summer season, rentals for kayaks, SUP boards, canoes, rowboats and fatbikes are self-service. Lake Matildanjärvi is a fantastic paddling destination and is especially suitable for those trying kayaking or SUP for the first time. Along the lake there are several campfire sites where you can land and enjoy snacks by the fire.

We also organize guided tours from June to August, on Fridays and Saturdays
