Raesärkät is also well suited for family outings with children, as the route is easy to walk and there are several resting places along the route within short distances of each other. The nature site is named after the northwest-southeast oriented narrow ridge formation. Although the ridges dominate the area, you will also find swamps, clear-water lakes, river bends, and old forests. There are even more swamps than forests in the area. The Raesärkät forests vary in age and are mostly barren pine forests and dry heaths. If you are lucky, you might also encounter the charming inhabitants of the forest.
