Itinerary description

When you take in the marvellous view over Lake Pielinen from the top of Ukko-Koli hill, it's easy to see why this spot has attracted so many Finnish artists, photographers and nature-lovers over the centuries. The splendid scenery always instills a sense of serenity and wonder in visitors. Koli's hills and lakes provide fine settings for enjoyable outings and activities at any time of year.

There are about 80 km of marked trails in the Koli National Park, the length of which vary from one and a half to 61 kilometres. As some of the trails are demanding and others are less so, you can choose the trail according to your level of physical fitness and the time you have available. The guides at Koli Nature Centre Ukko are more than happy to help you in planning your hike. Even so, it is advisable to take along the Koli outdoor and service map. Koli beckons!

Please note: The Koli peaks and many other lookout points are bare rock areas that are often slippery and difficult to traverse. There are no platforms or handrails at the lookout points - these are natural sights where you walk at your own risk.

The Herajärvi Trail (30 to 61 km) passing through the national park offers you the chance to set off on a hike that will take several days. You will see herb-rich forests, rippling brooks, rocky lookout points and forested hills.
