A perfect starting point for adventures in Oulanka National Park. Here, visitors can obtain comprehensive information on hiking trails, wildlife and nature conservation regulations. The visitor center is ideal for preparing for a hike: Maps, tips and modern facilities such as toilets and a small store are available. There are also exhibitions on the exciting geology and flora of the park. Many popular hikes start from here, including the famous Little Bear Circuit (Pieni Karhunkierros). Especially in summer, this is a meeting point for nature enthusiasts who want to explore the enchanting forests, waterfalls and moorlands.
