From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hiidenportti National Park (Hiidenportin kansallispuisto) is a national park in Oulu Province, Finland. Hiidenportti National Park was established to preserve the Kainuu Region's wilderness. A mosaic mix of mires and dry forests is typical landscape in this national park.
Two thirds of the area is coniferous forest. The near-natural state forests are 100–150 years old on average. The last loggings were made in the beginning of the 20th century.
The most well-known attraction of the park is the Hiidenportti (literally "Hiisi´s gate") gulley with vertical cliffs.
