These are pictures I took from a hike in the Tiirismaa nature reserve near the city of Lahti in Southern Finland. Tiirismaa is a small area with forested hills, through which there are nature trails. They seem to be pretty easy to walk through, since the hills there are mostly not very steep. The forest is pretty typical and there are some interesting sights like the crevice going through one hill and some views of the small lakes to the south. Right next to the place is a hill in Messilä, from where there is a nice view of the large lake to the north.
Most of the area consists of forest that covers the whole place. There is also a small swamp on the edge of the forest, through which the trail I walked through also goes.
One of the sights here is the Pirunpesä Crevice, which goes through part of the hill in the forest.
Nearby is also the Messilä Hill, which is used for downhill skiing during winter. From there is a nice view of the lake to the north. There is a path to the top of the hill, but there doesn’t seem to be any maintained trails there during summer.
