The hunting area consists of six different areas in the municipality of Heinävesi, and to a small extent also in the municipality of Liperi. The characteristics of the permit area include rolling and hilly terrain surrounded by Lake Kermajärvi from several directions. The terrain is rocky in places. No large open mire areas. Among all the grouse, the hazel grouse is the most common catch, but capercaillie and black grouse are also caught in the area. The area is completely used for forestry, with the exception of the Kermajärvi Nature Reserve. The hunting area includes water areas in Lake Kermajärvi's Hyövynlahti and Marinselkä sections and a few islands. Otherwise, there are few water bodies. The area has a good network of forest roads.
