Punkaharjun luonnonsuojelualue, entinen Kruununpuisto
Savonlinna
About this site
The northern forest warden's dwelling, known as Punahussila, and the forestry foreman's dwelling, originally built in the Crown Forest around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, have in the 21st century been located in Punkaharju nature reserve, and before that in the Finnish Forest Research Institute's Punkaharju research area. The nature reserve is managed by the Metsähallitus nature services. Punahussila is situated on the ridge top near the State Hotel, and the forestry foreman's dwelling on the slope below behind the Forest Research Institute's main building. Under Metsähallitus forestry administration is the former Punkaharju primary school, situated at the edge of the Forest Research Institute's tree species park. The buildings have transferred to Metsähallitus through changes of ownership. In Punkaharju one can explore some of the former Crown Forest buildings along hiking trails. A trail map is available at http://www.luontoon.fi/page.asp?Section=12196.
