Descrizione

The forests at Porkkala represent mixed forests of the temperate zone. The area's nature is versatile, and you can find old, pristine forests and barren, rocky islets. Porkkala is well known amongst birdwatchers because many migratory birds fly over the area. The most popular observation points are Lähteelä/Sunds birdwatching tower and observation platforms at Haahka rest area and at the southern point of Pampskatan. These observation points are located near the parking areas, so it is easy to carry a telescope.

Breeding birds are typical for the area and there are plenty of them nesting on the rocky islets: Gabbiano reale nordico, Cigno reale, Oca facciabianca and Oca selvatica.
