Wonderful nature! Well-marked routes!
A lot of information can be found on their web page (in English, Swedish, Chinese, Russian) Program service available (advance booking) but You will also survive alone. You can rent car or arrive Parkano with buss or train and continue with taxi (20km Parkano- Seitseminen nature centre). If You arrive with taxi, start Your trip from the Visitor Center (the starting point for many routes). Seitseminen nature park have many routes with different levels of difficulty (1,8km - 26km), we chose route "Torpparin taival" 6,8km, which starts 6 km ahead from the Visitor Center place called Kovero ( information can be found on web page) We saw wery old forrest, swamp (with duckboards), there was campfire site and small pond. Routes are well marked, You won't get lost! Nature is gorgeous! Before entering the National Park, stop to visit foodmarket and buy finnish sausage and other food (and something to drink!). Your trip will be even better!

Excellent piece of nature within one hour from Tampere
Seitseminen if one of the (currently) 40 national parks in Finland. It is a bit of a drive from Tampere, but completely doable. The info center provides information on the park itself, has changing exhibits on Finnish nature, rents some outdoor gear, has a possibility to get drinking water and to make a fire outside, and for the more comfort-preferring people, there's also a small restaurant. There are few routes starting from the info center ranging from a couple of kilometers' walk to 1-2-day hikes. You can borrow maps, and the routes are marked well. Just take some measures against the mosquitos who will try to feast on you. A few kilometers into the park there's an old farm still kept in the original shape. It is a nice way of seeing how the living conditions were in the end of 1800's to beginning of 1900's.
