The Linnaistensuo Mire is a nature reserve in Lahti, Finland.[1] It is a typical southern Finnish raised bog.[1] It is located in the Kujala area near Linnaistenmäki, 7 kilometers from the city centre of Lahti.[2]
Linnaistensuo has an area of 200 hectares.[1] It contains 15 different natural mire types; and the average depth of peat in Linnaistensuo is 2.9 metres.[1][2] A boardwalk trail, 1.5 kilometers long, crosses the area.[2] Linnaistensuo is also a popular destination for short hikes.[2]
Ditches at Linnainensuo have been blocked, and a project was initiated between 2002 and 2004 to restore the natural state of the area.[2][1] During the first phase, 100 hectares were protected, and the protected area has since been expanded.[2] Thanks to the additional areas added in 2003, the nature reserve now encompasses approximately 200 hectares.[2]
Linnainensuo was accepted into the European Union's Natura 2000 network in 1998 as a representative example of raised bog nature in southern Finland.[2]
