In the Vihanni district there are more than 100 km of marked trails, known as “Vihannin kinttupolut”.

The Raahe Ancient Trail is a joint project of four village associations, in which a network of trails and hiking trails between the villages was implemented. The route network presents numerous ancient relics and sites from the Stone Age to the Iron Age.
