The Biosphere Trail spans a 1.8 km journey through diverse natural landscapes including a conifer forest, a quaint hazel grove, rugged rocky areas, and pathways adjacent to the school in Korpo and near Verkan's marina. This trail embodies the harmonious relationship between human presence and the natural world, serving as a reflection of the values and essence of the Archipelago Sea UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The terrain varies significantly, with portions of the trail traversing slippery rock surfaces, necessitating agility and caution from hikers. For those starting their journey at the Verkan harbour, a designated shortcut is available to circumvent a challenging uphill climb.
INSIDER TIP: During the summer months, Verkan becomes a vibrant hub of activity, offering amenities such as a small kiosk, a café, a restaurant, and kayak rentals, enhancing the overall experience for visitors and providing opportunities to explore the area from different perspectives.
