Hossa means “A place far away,” according to the indigenous Sami people who gave it it’s name.  The name fits it’s purpose as it offers time away from regular schedule to a peaceful getaway with the wilderness.
There are many beautiful sights to see in this park, as well as cool services to take advantage of.  The Värikallio Cliffs have rock paintings that are as old as the New Stone Age. The 4,000 year old paintings deal with the people’s perspective alluding to the fishing and hunting culture that dominated those ancient times.
This park also offers accommodation for overnight stays, planned or unplanned, as well as free-of-charge or reserved. Hossa even has ways to accommodate those who are disabled, by labeling wheelchair accessible trails, and having other services specifically designed for those who need more assistance.
