Karkali and Torhola Cave

Herb-rich nature reserve and limestone cave on a Lohjanjarvi peninsula.

Karkali Strict Nature Reserve protects a rich patch of forest on a peninsula in Lake Lohjanjarvi, with short trails through unusually lush vegetation for southern Finland. Nearby Torhola Cave is the country's largest limestone cave.

This is a car or bike excursion from central Lohja rather than a casual walk from town. Avoid entering the cave in late autumn and winter, when bats may be hibernating.
