Könkään keino Trail – Oulanka National Park

Hiking

Spicy-scented forests, expansive pine heaths, rushing rapids and typical swampy landscapes - that's what Oulanka National Park is all about. The best way to explore its beauty on this varied, around seven-kilometer circular tour is to start counterclockwise. That leaves you with the impressive Kiutaköngäs until the very end.

Want more? You can find more information about nature and sights to the right and left of this hiking trail in my hiking book "Finland's National Parks - Hiking in the Pearls of the North". There you will find over 500 pages of accompanying background information on 1,000 kilometers on foot through all of Finland's national parks. My motto: "Walk - See - Understand". Write to me and ask!
