The Tulisuo-Varpusuo mire protection area includes five major mires: Nahkasuo, Peurasuo, Pääsuo, Tulisuo, and Varpusuo. All mires are undrained and in natural condition, creating a wilderness-like atmosphere. The area is a mosaic of mires and forest islands, which include various types of ancient forests. The tree stock is natural, with an average age of about 150 years. The forests contain a lot of dead standing trees, fallen trees, stumps, and snags. The dead wood hosts a rich bracket fungus flora. Lichens and lung lichens are conspicuously abundant in places.

The route via the left branch leads to the edges of Nahkasuo. After 4.8 km, the path merges back with the path leading to the Matalajärvi lean-to shelter - choose the right branch if you want to continue to the Matalajärvi lean-to shelter.
