“The peaks of Koli, entwined with the roots of Finnish mythology and etched into the identity of the nation, stand as defiant guardians to history and heritage. Here, the echoes of the past and tales merge with the hum of the forests and the silent watch of ancient hills.
The vistas from Koli’s summits offer landscapes that, even on a short journey, leave a lasting mark on the soul. The eye meets the incredible beauty and expanse of Pielinen, a blue mirror reflecting the skies, with islands rising like dark silhouettes. Beneath the feet, the Finnish bedrock provides a firm support for the traveler, a smooth and beautiful sight that beckons to be touched.
This is a place where the whisper of the wind carries old myths, where the dark embrace of the forests meets the sky and the infinite blue of Lake Pielinen. Although the place is vast, it is well suited for a wide array of admirers. The walk is not long, though the landscape leaves an indelibly beautiful mark on the heart.
If you arrive in winter, you might slip on snowshoes before heading to the summits. It is an experience where the beauty and magic of Finnish nature are present in their full force.”
