Kiilopää Trailhead is the “classic” entry point for Urho Kekkonen National Park. The signs here invite you to "Escape into the wilderness" - and it's really possible - open fell country is only minutes away. The nearby trail centre offers accommodation, a restaurant/café, sauna and equipment rental, making this a very popular destination, year-round.

Tiny Santa office in Saariselkä: looks like the Lapland branch. Might be closed, but still a fun little find.

When the conditions line up, you can catch the Aurora Borealis dancing over the national park from here.

You can decide whether to buy a ticket to visit the mine or just try searching for gems on your own in the field just outside. This could be a good spot to lean your bike against and stretch your legs while looking for precious stones.

The Rykimäkuru loop takes you from Luosto into the best scenery of Pyhä-Luosto National Park. Expect varied terrain and good views.

Along the trail, you'll encounter the striking Rykimäkuru gorge, a crack in the rock bed, while the surrounding ravines were shaped by the meltwaters from the Ice Age.
