オウランカ国立公園周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Unfortunately, the center is currently closed, but the kiosk is still open and invites you to linger.

The Oulanka Visitor Center is the start point for the 8-kilometre Könkään keino Trail, a superb loop featuring the Loseikko lookout point and the Kiutaköngäs Rapids. The center is a rich source of information on trails in the region.

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.

The cabin can accommodate up to twelve people and is located on the banks of the Kitkajoki river and the Karhunkierros and Pieni Karhunkierros trails. In the cabin you will find sleeping platforms, a stove, a gas cooker and a dry toilet 50 meters away. Please note that there are no trash cans, so please take your trash with you. The nearest disposal point can be found on the trail between Myllykoski and Jyrävä.

Here, a long suspension bridge leads over the Harrisuvanto River. The water here is usually as smooth as glass. It is best to walk across it one at a time, otherwise it becomes narrow and wobbly.

It is definitely worth making the little detour to the waterfall. The beautifully situated Jyräva waterfall finds its way through the canyon here.

Very nice place near the Harrisuvanto shelter. Here I could pitch my tent and enjoy the peace at the water. The mist that came up in the evening above the water and under the suspension bridge made it even more beautiful.
