Why marvel?
To marvel and go around all the important monuments in the city, you can quickly see a few days.
To the most important and most frequently mentioned points:
- Beautiful landscapes that are most admired from the mountain peaks, especially in winter.
- Meadows, which in the summer period transform into kvitkovy keels. Any representatives of the flora have not yet been traced.
- Fermi with creatures: Matilla and Ollila. The animals here are Finnish Landrace (a breed of sheep) and various local breeds of chickens. The balance of thinness allows you to regulate environmental management and preserve landscapes.
- Old guys and foxes. On the elephants of Mount Ipati you can grow hundred-year-old trees, which are impressive in size. Stinks have long become a haven for mosses, comas, and tinder fungi. The living soil and vegetative atmosphere allow ferns, orchids and mosses to reach great proportions. Those who want to develop such natural wonders simply need to walk the “Shepherd’s Stitch.”
- The Tarapuro waterfall adds to the lush forest cover of the park.
- Varto can see gorges in the mountains, quartz rocks, ovens.
- The 33-meter-high oven is associated with mystical stories, which is why it was called the “Church of the Devil.” You can reach it by a stitch from the stone slopes. This wonderfully significant monument was created by nature itself.
- The port stitch is the oldest stitch in the national park.
Who is covered by insurance?
The introduction of natural, meaningful reminders will be appreciated by both adults and children of all ages. It’s a big deal to take advantage of the park. Better yet, when leaving the park, the underage children were accompanied by their fathers.

On the way to the village there are signs on the highways that will help you get to the national park without any problems. Finding the city's parks is not so difficult, since the road near the lake takes about 20 km. To get to the park, it will be enough to turn right-handed from the road on the side of Lieks (from highway No. 515). From the same Lieks the entrance to the park can be easily reached by car ferry.

Robot mode
The peak of the national park's work falls on the evening of September. The work hour is from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For wine, work at Lipnya - from 10 wounds until 6 pm. Saturday and week are weekends.
Can you blame me for the robotic park mode "Koli".
Variety of tickets
Walking on your own in the park is not allowed. The service of guides and instructors is available to cover the route and a number of guides.
Basically, when entering the park, you need to obtain a ski pass. You can apply for it at the park's cash register for 6 euros and you can pay for it both for one payment and for a fee. You will be in good hands when you visit the new “attraction” - the lift. Adults over 70 years of age and children up to 7 years of age can eat it without harm (for the sake of the mind that stinks of sholomi).
Last time I started hearing about those from Sortavala we decided to go for a couple of days to Finland. The cordon was changed here near Karelia. The transition was forgotten with a dark shadow for the Russians, who were allowed to pass ahead of the Finns, and with a watchful eye for bad food. Late in the evening we reached the town of Joensuu, which I will tell you about next time. After spending the night, the French headed to the Koli National Park to marvel at the local traveler’s recommendations for “the best view of Finland.” We marveled. Now I know exactly where the earth ends and where the thick gray and gray begins, it’s like a hallucination of nothingness - we’ve been in the very heart of the snow queen’s kingdom. Ozhe, national park "Koli".
2 billions of years ago, in this place, high mountains stood - Karelides, which did not compromise their importance to the present-day Himalayas. But, as you know, everyone, except the Egyptian pyramids, is afraid of the hour - until now, when the great mountains have lost very small rocks, the most famous of which are Ukko-Koli, which are three and a half hundred meters high over the plain of the sea. This is the greatest place in Pivdenniy Finland.
Skhili Ukko-Koli is a popular ski resort, so it is always crowded here.
From the parking lot up the hill there is a small funicular running to the hotel and the town's ski resort.
Through this darkened corner one can already see a nasty look, which can deserve the title of “the best looking of Finland.”
Having risen literally a few tens of meters from the parking lot, you lose the sky into another world, spreading out a thousand or two kilometers per day.
I know, I haven’t had that much snow yet.
There is so much snow on the floor that it seems that having sunk into the sea of snow, it burns you from all sides.
And the middle of this majestic sea shines with dark lighthouses covered with snow.
Well, we kindly ask you to see the winter fairy tale.
Among the tall yawl trees and pine trees, the soft velvet trees that you stand on, you feel a little shiver. The handle has been retouched, so you can just guess under that ball of snow - so it always looks like some kind of unconscious underground structure.
The symbol of the Koli National Park is the numerous strawberry trees and pines with many tops. The product is unique and is rarely eaten. Its nature is simple - the water rises along the rocks uphill, where it condenses in the crowns of trees, after which it turns into ice. The huge icy breasts on the tops of pines and yalines reach hundreds of kilograms, and under their vines the trees often break.
The snow plasters kept growing and finally hatched among the great white chickens.
With a rush of stench, the stench scattered to the sides, the great sleigh began to lurch, and the man sitting next to it sat up. There was a tall, string, sticky-white woman - the Snow Queen; And the fur coat and hat she was wearing were in the snow.
The walls of the palaces were surrounded by winds, the windows and doors were filled with violent winds.
How cold, how deserted it was in these white, brightly sparkling palaces!
Cold, deserted, grandiose!
These landscapes inspired Jean Sebelius when he wrote his Fourth Symphony.
There is a legend that before the party he climbed to the top of the mountain with a piano, which he played for his future friends.
Cold, deserted, dead!
In the middle of the largest empty snowy bay there was a frozen lake. Kriga cracked on a thousand pieces, so new and correct that it seemed like a trick.
In the middle of the lake stood the throne of the Snow Queen; I sat on something like that when I was at home, seeming like I should sit on a mirror; In her opinion, this was one and the most beautiful mirror in the world.
Between the chimerically arched shoulders under tons of snow one can see the edgeless Finnish foxes caught in the brisk spring.
In an hour we reach the highest point - the peaks of Ukko-Koli.
This kind of surrealism is straight out of the canvas of Salvador Dali.
From the top there is a view of Lake Pielinen, surrounded by rocks.
Vlasna, the Vin Axis – the most beautiful view of Finland.
This is the largest lake in the region. From the river Pielisyoki, its waters flow through Saimaa, Vuoksa and Lake Ladozka to my native Neva.
The name of the peak is translated as “Did Koli”. Ukko means “did” in Finnish.
And Ukko is the name of the ancient pagan thunder god.
The climb here is quite small - from the hotel to the top it is only 300 meters. Ale yakscho vrahuvat, scho make your way to the knee-deep snow, go out, sho 300 meters away 25 hvilin.
The tree's branches predict monsters covered in snow. Just a few more times and she will take off her two-gram snow coat and will cruelly punish the trespassers with peace of mind.
As I said above, you have to make your way through a pile of snow.
І tse - a trampled stitch. Wartly, you'll get killed, and you'll immediately fall into the snow up to your waist.
So, without haste, choked with snow, we began to make our way to the approaching peak - Pakha-Koli.
If I understand correctly, this is translated as “Evil Kolya”.
Chantly, to justify the name of the peak, the wind here was at times strong and angry, but spread over several hundred meters from the Ukko-Koli.
It was important to just stand on the top, the photographer had a chance to take cover - in the soft snow I created a quiet barlig, from which only my head and camera were washed.
The third peak is Akka-Koli. It is translated like Baba Koli.
There were no trodden paths there, and we decided to make our way by ourselves, trying to recognize the red marks buried under the snow that signify the right path.
The top of Akka-Koli is built on the prolongation side of the ridge, from which the edge opens into the other side.
Yalinka and pine trees that wash away the snow, similar to the army of the great Kazkov warriors, which fell into repose and perished under the onslaught of winter.
The ancient Karelians respected these mountains of living realities, so there are a lot of legends and retellings associated with these rocks.
At the same time, there is a place in the park called the Church of the Devil - a long gorge near a rock about 30 meters deep. At the top, the gorge is filled with majestic stone ridges that form the crypt of the oven. The ancient shamans from this place sang that the sanctuary of the devil himself was built in the next hall.
A few years later, we tried to get to the oven, but our turn was a failure - the snow there was noticeably deep down to our waists, so after trampling through the parking lot covered with snow, we finally got there.
“Now I’ll fly to warm lands,” said the Snow Queen. - I’ll stop by before the black cauldrons.
That's what she called the craters of the great mountains - Etni and Vesuvius.
- I’ll beat them a little. This is good for lemons and grapes.
She flew off, and Kai was left alone in the vast deserted hall, marveling at the scenes and thinking and thinking, so that his head was rattling. He’s sitting on his seat, so pale, indestructible, and inanimate. You might have thought that he was frozen.
U This hour before the majestic storms, like violent winds, Gerda entered. And in front of her they smelled the wind, otherwise they fell asleep. She went to the majestic deserted hall and greeted Kai. She immediately recognized him, rushed to his neck, hugged him lovingly and cooed:
- Kai, my dear Kai! I knew the answer for you!
Kai and Gerda, shoulder-to-shoulder, left the palace palaces. They came and talked about grandma, about the Trojans who were blooming in their little garden, and before them the wild winds died down, the sun peeped through. And when they reached the bush with red berries, there was already a reindeer checking them.
Instead of a wild deer, we checked for a faithful Citroen, in which we were able to find ourselves, unwind and come to our senses.
After walking around the park we headed back to Joensuu. At the exit from the national park there was a great deal of publicity about the open ice road that connects the two shores of Lake Pillinen. If you take the road along the lake, then this road will cover about 100 kilometers, but you can immediately cover 60 kilometers.
Naturally, we needed to go to a different lake - otherwise I might wonder what the Finnish winter road is like.
I realized that there was probably not a wide, well-cleared road, in Uzbekistan there were no road signs.
Tomorrow there will be a little more of Finland.
You can often feel that Koli National Park is one of the most popular places in Finland. It is located in the other part of the country, in Pivnichny Karelia, 70 km from Joensuu, 490 km from Helsinki and 514 km from St. Petersburg. Park buv foundations in 1991 roci. Its area is 45 km², and its maximum height (Mount Ukko-Koli) is 347 meters. This is the most important point of the Finnish Finland, from which there emerges that spluttering view of Lake Pielinen, for which tourists come here (there are about 100 thousand people behind the river park).
Koli National Park
It seems that Jean Sibelius was so overwhelmed by the beauty of the city landscapes that he ordered to raise his piano to the top of the mountain, and grave there in silence. Because of the legend itself, the famous fourth symphony was born.
Reserve
On the territory of Kolya, two types of activity are successfully combined - security and tourism. Both the natural riches of the region and the cultural decline of Karelia are under threat here - for example, ancient considerations for forests and vegetation. Regularly direct the grass to the pasture in order to regulate the grass cover using natural paths. By the way, the slash-fire type of farming is still going on here. It’s a shame that everyone can take the same fate as this traditional approach.
The park also has a natural landmark – the Pirunkirkko Gorge (“Church of the Devil”). This is a natural stove found in Finland. The retellings link them with the shamans and chakluns of Kolya. However, in the middle of the gorge you can spot traces of ancient cults, including the famous Finnish artist Jero Järnefelt, who is missing from the wall. Vin, like Sibelius, was at the capture of the beautiful region.
There is also a legend connected with the gorge.
Once upon a time, there lived a girl in the foothills. When they go to war, they put a ring on their finger with the words: “If the ring is on your finger, if I turn around, I will make friends with you.” The girl, as if walking along the gorge, let the ring in. Vaughn thought that if the gift was taken away with Kolya’s perfume, it would be necessary to say differently, thinking that their names would not be marked with changes. But turning around, he learned about everything and lost the edges: he became angry that he was called to wear a betrothal in front of someone else. That girl, overcome by grief, walked every day to the gorge and threw in everything that was small. The town's inhabitants found her dead on the edge of the gorge, naked, and on her finger was the same ring: the spirits looked over her and turned her.
In connection with this, I believe that after getting drunk at Kolya, it is necessary to throw yourself at the gorge, so as not to anger the local spirits, and the stench of your drink will end.
Important monuments of the reserve and its surroundings
Ukhrihalkeama
In this place in the rock there is a hole filled with coins that were thrown there for the rest of the story. Ukhrihalkeama is connected with the story of a maiden in the name of Annikka, who donated her wealth to the spirit of breaking the Earth in order to reverse her luck. Also on the rock you can see rock babies from a hundred years ago.
Natural stitch Sataman shelf
This stitch is the oldest tourist stitch in Finland. Near the port of Koli lies an erratic boulder with an inscription on it. This boulder functioned as the first indicator on the trail leading to the Ukko-Koli mountain.
Mount Rylajus
From the observation point on Mount Rylyajus (built on the Herajärven kijerros route) one can see the wonderful views of the mountains of the national park and Lake Pielinen. With just a short walk during the day, from the observation point you can see the burning rocky scree, which looks like a rocky stream on the slope of the mountain. So, not far from the observation point there is a Sami plague and a place for riches. Hiking to Mount Ryuljaus from the nearest parking lot in Єro is about 2.4 km.
Oglyadova vezha Räsyavaara
The observation tower is only 18 meters high, and the growth at the top of the mountain raises the observation point more than 300 meters above the level of the sea. If you wonder from day to day, then you can see even more in the mountains of the Koli National Park and Lake Herayarvi. The outer shore of Lake Pielinen, as well as the islands of Kelvänsaari and Hattusaari, are clearly visible at the gathering. After marveling at the landscape, you will see Paalasmaa, the largest island in Lake Pielinen. As you approach, you can watch out for the forest landscape. From the Kolinti road to the Räsävaara mountain. Parking spaces for cars, as well as carports, are located 3 km away from the Kolintie road. The trails from the parking lot to the bottom of the observation point are hundreds of meters away.
Note
From Obovyazkovo you will also go to the village of Koli and the Križana road to Lake Pielinen.
Repair for whatever relish
On the territory of Kolya you can enjoy the whole river and spend an hour sipping for your health.
Fishing is also popular throughout Finland, since Lake Pielinen is one of the largest in the country. Of course, the favorites will be deprived of walking campaigns with the skhila of Ukko-Koli or Loma-Koli. However, you can both walk and fish with success. Among other traditional winter activities, the park offers dog sledding on the ice of the lake, as well as a program for children. Also, for a family holiday, you can go for a ride with the charming Icelandic horses.
For lovers of skiing and snowboarding, the park is home to a popular ski resort. Another important item on the program is a walk in snowshoes. Obviously, this is one of the most convenient ways to navigate the snowy slopes of Kolya. To master snowshoes, you can quickly use special packages of services or rent them yourself and break one of the many tourist stitches.
Also here there are often temporary exhibitions and various visits. The library, Internet center and nature gift store Vakka were also renovated here. You can climb the mountain by foot or by cable car.
For those who want to relax and forget about all their problems, there is a water and health resort Koli Relax Spa on the territory of the park. There are saunas, swimming pools, various treatments, outdoor plunge pools and a relaxation room. The panoramic terrace allows you to enjoy the amazing views of the park while drinking tea. Also recently opened was the Koli Spa Lotus spa center, which is located in Purnuniya, three kilometers from the village of Koli. There are swimming pools, saunas, jacuzzi, water massage. Saunas have received special respect: traditional saunas, Turkish sauna, salt sauna, aroma sauna and so on.
How to get away?
You can get to Kolya by car. Another option is to travel to Joensuu from Helsinki by train or flight, and then take a taxi or local bus. The bus stop is located in Akhmovaara, which is in Kolinportti (9 km from the village of Koli).
