“In the beginning there were the marsh…” (Alussa oli suo”…)
Siikaneva is the largest unified marshland in Pirkanmaa and one of the most important mire conservations area in the province, which makes it also a nice place for birds. It hosts one of the SMEAR stations data collection points with a nice collection of sensors and a beautiful wooden plank path to explore it a bit.
In addition to the state-administered mire protection area, Siikaneva has a private nature reserve. More info form metsähalitus pages here
