The train has windows like great TV panels. There is a black and white movie on their screens. Black forest, covered with snow, white lakes, ice-covered and white sky, stars of snow falling... Honest monochrome. There are only two colors - black and white... white... white.

The pull is a marvelous thing. Axis, after all, outside the border... No, exactly, outside the border... With border guards, mitniks, checking documents... And yet, without hearts turning over with their roar, flights, registration and duty free... everything... over It’s just... It’s not right, what? Like a trip to Samara... or St. Petersburg... Coupe, tea from a rare, wicked sacristan, with a teaspoon... the sound of wheels. The first hour, still at the Leningradsky station, beating with a crazy pulse, rattles and starts to get on the train.

Finland is simple. That one is closer, however, Petersburgers have long known this and have been traveling around Scandinavia in their cars. Go to the dacha. I want to go fishing, I want to go skiing, I want to just buy groceries.

Ukko Koli-Ukko-Koli (translated from Finnish - Did Koli, the most famous mountain in Pivnichny Karelia (354 meters, 253 meters above the surface of the water, Lake Pielinen). Without digging such yalins. How fantastic sculptures stink... similar to tall, melted candles, only majestic, covered with snow, completely white, sometimes they are similar and then it seems that the stink is alive.

It’s a miracle that snow doesn’t fall from the… at all… holes in the adhesives. It’s important to realize that on the skin tree... three tons of snow... it’s all vanity. Zimova's Cossack. To really believe in the fairy tale, you need to add to the picture a white and prickly ash forest on the hill, under a lake of incredible size. Nemov sea inlet... And hundreds of islands, our stone, roses in the Japanese garden. Great and small... terrible... So many of them - no one is happy...
// c-myxuh.livejournal.com
The truth has been confused with Wikipedia. There are more islands than 1200. It’s difficult to see, it’s too much... it’s unlikely that you can get more of this wonder... The length of Lake Pielinen is 120 kilometers, width 40. . And it’s also a thing that restores the body to calmness and tranquility. From nature, light, yourself.
At the Ukko-Koli National Park, Finland // c-myxuh.livejournal.com
Ukko-Koli is a national park where the first ski and slalom ski resorts appeared in 1938. The park may not have destroyed civilization, although this status was recently revoked in 1991. Here, not just trees are protected, but also the landscape, including the slopes, laid in a protected forest, on the slopes, they are carved out so as to preserve the original relief.
// c-myxuh.livejournal.com
As a result, the result was even stronger routes, sinuous and with a changeable twist, both later and transverse. Then, if you create the feathers with a pattern and paint their outline on the paper, the needles will come out. Nemov goydalka. You get angry, you get angry. At the top point there is rozvantazheniya, change of edge... A sea of niceness. The Association of Finnish Ski Centers recognized the resort as a ski center for 2013.

The panorama of the winter forest is still glued to the window. It seems that he inhaled the breath of Jean Sibelius, and he ordered to bring a piano to Koli and... inspired by new music... placing the instrument on the top of the hill (why don’t you say - “a piano in the bushes”?). It's true that it's a legend, who can tell? It is absolutely clear that among Sibelius’s numerous works is the “Karelia” overture (1893). Why not?

With such views, and on the borders of the national park... the most beautiful place for a hotel is important to see. Under the windows of the highway is the upper station of the chairlift. Stylish hotel. Everything is simple and unobtrusive, without architectural extravagances, entirely in line with the concept of Scandinavian design. Simple, handy, spacious. Streamliny, dark color of facades that does not conflict with excessive nature, slope, wood. Comfortable rooms.
// c-myxuh.livejournal.com
Restaurant with a wonderful view. Great windows, always with their interiors open onto the forest. The drink is like a picnic at the forest.

If you tell someone from Finland that you were in Kolya, you will be chanted... and why were you in the spa? In the region, where no one is healthy with a sauna, or rather, you can only be healthy because of your daily routine, nutrition can be alarming... if you haven’t been to your spa... and if you’ve been there... nutrition isn’t healthy absolutely... Category - cannot be missed.
Koli Relax Spa, at Break Sokos Hotel Koli. Ticket - 40 euros, if you have one. Like “tato, mom, son, dog”... oops another son (or daughter), up to 12 years (with a dog, it’s still not possible) you’ve got a family ticket. 80 euros for four...Also...after 16 years of age, sauna bathing is possible for those over 18 years of age (from 18 years of age).
You will be handed a new cat, similar to the one that Chervona Hat had, only instead of pies, there will be a cosmetic set... so to speak... a bunch of numbered plastic bottles and bags... and a plan - a guide to the spa.. With instructions for freezing these bulbs, they need to be cured correctly.
The spa center has three saunas.
Vogon (Tilu) is the hottest. This is a classic Finnish sauna with a temperature of 80 degrees.
Kamen (Kivi) – aromatic sauna, 60-70 degrees.
Water (Vesi) – Vologa Turkish Lazne, 40-50 degrees.
A number of swimming pools and Jacuzzis, with different water temperatures, from cold to hot – to quiet Jacuzzis, which are located on the open terrace. Needless to say, this cap can be taken to the spa, even before speaking in a hot bath in the open frosty air.
There is also a music pool. It’s like a pool, like a pool, something musical in a new way didn’t immediately dawn on me. Ale Varto lie down by the water... so that the water covers your ear and you can almost feel the music under the water.
Aromatic showers with tropical showers and grass boards, and a relaxation area with bowls of fruit and tea. You can sit by a sun lounger and enjoy the wonderful view.
Meanwhile, the entire spa is open to the national park, from the floors to the walls. The doors of the saunas are also glass, and in this, the main idea is to relax the body, admire the beauty of Southern Karelia... practically, without leaving the sun.
The interior is stylish and truly chic. Natural stone, black wood, light wood. Not without traditional techniques, with an reinforced texture of the material, for example, in the example, natural wooden shingles that are glazed with water in old rural huts.

Snowshoeing is reminiscent of summer mountaineering. In essence, it’s a stroll. Snowshoes are similar to original licks, even mentally. Again, like on licks, you can’t do them, you can only walk.
// c-myxuh.livejournal.com
Short and wide, so as not to fall through the snow. The heels are loose, the toe is fastened. Special technology, based on the heel position, allows you to go uphill (skirts on the heels) or go down without slipping. There are limp clubs in your hands.
// c-myxuh.livejournal.com
Three routes are marked: 1.5 km, 3 and 4 kilometers, pass through the forest, with access to high viewpoints, on the Ukko-Akka and Pakha-Koli hills, from the view a fantastically beautiful panorama of the lake and the national park is revealed.
// c-myxuh.livejournal.com

Those who want to experience one of the Scandinavian countryside can easily head to the Koli National Park. Located about 500 km from the Finnish capital. The Ukko Koli mountain offers stunning views of Lake Pielinen.
The advantage of staying in the Koli National Park is that the rewards and satisfaction with the time spent can be enjoyed by both lovers of calm, tranquil relaxation and extreme sports.
What can you do at the national park?
In addition to the main sights, you can visit the visitor center, pick berries and mushrooms, look after the lives of birds (and rare species), visit local natural monuments, swim and go boating, engage in wind sports, go for a ride on the mountain, go on a bike ride and swim in the lake.
Why marvel?
To marvel and go around all the important monuments in the city, you can quickly see a few days.
To the most important and most frequently mentioned points:
- Beautiful landscapes that are most admired from the mountain peaks, especially in winter.
- Meadows, which in the summer period transform into kvitkovy keels. Any representatives of the flora have not yet been traced.
- Fermi with creatures: Matilla and Ollila. The animals here are Finnish Landrace (a breed of sheep) and various local breeds of chickens. The balance of thinness allows you to regulate environmental management and preserve landscapes.
- Old guys and foxes. On the elephants of Mount Ipati you can grow hundred-year-old trees, which are impressive in size. Stinks have long become a haven for mosses, comas, and tinder fungi. The living soil and vegetative atmosphere allow ferns, orchids and mosses to reach great proportions. Those who want to experience such natural wonders simply need to walk the “Shepherd’s Stitch.”
- The Tarapuro waterfall adds to the lush forest cover of the park.
- There are caves and gorges in the mountains, quartz rocks, ovens.
- The 33-meter-high oven is associated with mystical stories, which is why it was called the “Church of the Devil.” You can reach it by a stitch behind the stone steps. This wonderfully significant monument was created by nature itself.
- The port stitch is the oldest stitch in the national park.
Who is covered by insurance?
The introduction of natural monuments will be appreciated by both adults and children of all ages. There’s a lot of fuss and it’s better to take some fun in the park. Better yet, when leaving the park, the underage children were accompanied by their fathers.
Addresses and Roztashuvannya on the map
Koli Roztashovani Park on the territory of the municipalities: Kontiolahti, Lieks, Joensuu. Nearby there is highway No. 6 and Lake Pielinen.
- Kontiolahti, Lieksa, Joensuu
How to get away
You can get to the park by the following types of transport:
- Vlasny rents a car. The hour at the door depends on the point from which transport from Kolya is sent. From Kuopio you will need to travel about 2.5 years, from Joensuu - about 47 years. On the way to the village there are signs on the highways that will help you get to the national park without any problems. Finding the city's parks is not so difficult, since the road near the lake takes about 20 km. To get to the park, it will be enough to turn right-handed from the road on the side of Lieks (from highway No. 515). From the same Lieks the entrance to the park can be easily reached by car ferry.
- Hromadsky transport. 9 km from the park there is a bus that runs from Joensuu. The average price for travel by public transport is 5 euros.
- Taxi. Yogo can be booked in advance. You can find a car for one tourist or a family, a company, or use a fast route taxi that picks up a number of tourists from their designated destination and delivers them back there. The time of departure and arrival is determined later. Detailed information about the specifics of the armor can be found on the official website of the park. The average cost of such a taxi per passenger is 40 euros (for the trip will be from Joensuu). The fare price can be significantly reduced depending on the number of passengers.
- Tim, if you go to the park in the capital, you can reach Joensuu by train(about 4 years old), after which transfer to a taxi in the background. Armoring is carried out in English or Finnish languages.
- Water transport during the summer hour. The first method that is most often used is a car ferry on Lake Pielinen. There is a restaurant in Nyumu. Maximum capacity of passengers – 150 people, buses – 4 pcs., cars – 22 pcs. Underwater wing ships can be a good alternative to water transport. Such transport on water runs in two days between the coastal part of the settlements: Vuonislahti, Koli, Lieks. The average cost of this price is 45 rubles. You can get a ticket for your scheduled departure time or book a personal cruise. You can call: +358451387429.
- Letak. The method that is available to Koli Park is not so often. Airplanes from Helsinki now land at the airports of Kuopio and Joensuu. From the airport to the park or the sealed hotel, taxis or public transport are easier to reach.
Robot mode
The peak of the national park's work falls on the evening of September. Work hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For wine, work at Lipnya - from 10 wounds until 6 pm. Saturday and week are weekends.
Can you blame me for the robotic park mode "Koli".
Variety of tickets
Walking on your own in the park is not allowed. The service of guides and instructors is available to cover the route and a number of guides.
Once you enter the park you will need to apply for a ski pass. You can apply for it at the park's cash register for 6 euros and you can pay for it both for one ticket and for a fee. You will be in good hands when you visit the new “attraction” - the lift. Adults over 70 years of age and children up to 7 years of age can eat it without harm (for the sake of the mind that stinks of sholomi).
We recently traveled to Finland by car. What else should you drive if you want to explore your destination? Not by bus... How many times has the meta of the trip been discussed. We went to discover new national parks. Select the Koli National Park, one of the most popular in Finland. And in this article you are notified about the trip and the coordinates of the place to Kolya Park.
Roztashovanny Koli Park near Skhidnaya Finland, not far from Joensuu (what a nice little town). The routes near the park are varied - on foot, by water, and by road. The entire walking route of Kolya is approximately 60 kilometers long, with no divisions on the “sub-route”. There is no smell when the folding shoes are passed through, but there is nothing to do with a stroller or a bicycle. Masa skel, sosen ta vodi. Near the Koli National Park, the most famous mountain of Skhidna Finland - Ukko-Koli (347 m) is located. And at this point I’ll find a point and we’ll climb with the whole family, so you can jump over, because the routes here are completely accessible to small children:
Ale - let’s not get ahead of ourselves and let’s talk about our trip to Finland in a Renault Duster car in order.
We crossed the border between Finland and Russia at Vartsil They passed quickly without any problems, but on the forums they shout out total surveys through the presence of those close to the border at the right time. There was only one culprit - the Russian border guards, in addition to Tanya’s foreign passport, asked for another certificate about their people. Having passed the cordon in the evening, we didn’t make it to the Kolya park that day (that weather deprived us of the best). Having bought the sanctioned syrup and other delicacies, they settled in (in the Joensuu area, the most comfortable places to spend the night are crite little houses with rotting walls and wide benches):
Vrantsi, having been pleased with the plan for the park (they arrived in the same place in the information center), we walked to the “main” entrance to Koli Park, left the car in the parking lot and went to get it in a new place in Finland. Parking coordinates: N 63 5690 E 2948200. You can get there using a cat-free elevator or ramps. True, not very high (Kolya’s heights do not vary). We chose the elevator:
Signed out from the spa hotel Break Sokos Hotel Koli(for those who need the wholesome beauty or have plans for a number of days of walking or leisurely walking, this hotel will soon arrive) and right there stumbled on one of the glaring Maidans:
After taking photos, we went on a “hike in the mountains,” as our Tanya had planned. Here you go, here there is a stone, here there are wooden places, here there are roots of trees.
And here are the kaluzhi. Jumping on the peaks Ukko-Koli, Akka-Koli, Pakha-Koli.
The snack was eaten on the smooth rock, and the bits were sunbathed under the cool, sickly sun:
The route we chose was short, less than 3 km. Because in this part of the park we were amazed by all the “species” places, go first, let’s say, there were molts in the Finnish forest, and I also wanted to learn more about other reminders.
I let's go to the observation tower Räsävaara. You can park your car at the coordinates N63 07.545 E 29 43.470 (here there is a small amount of money, good for lunch and not good for the night) and take a walk to Pishki Mountain. It's about 800 meters. If you have a backyard, you can get to the very top (N63 7.720 E 29 43.640). From the parking area to the tops of the Koli National Park the drive is 15 kilometers. Curl tower 18 meters. And you can also see from it what is called “super-duper”. І forward, і down.
The tooth has stepped on Devil's oven(Finny is called the Church of the Devil). It is true that the gorge in the middle of the stone is not very deep and does not require special caution when climbing into it. You can skip this point in the Koli National Park because time is short. If you want to stop by, coordinate the entrance to the oven: N 63 02.648 E 29.55.125. From the parking lot, walk about 200 meters.
The day began to fade into the evening, and we went to look for laava for the night. We found one similar to the one in which we spent the night before and controlled the global drying of mushrooms:
For the next day, we had planned “attractions” that can be enjoyed at the Koli National Park - a spontaneous crossing of the river.
Time to stay with Kiviniyem(Coordinates N 63 59.447 E 29.55.700). “Pulling, pulling”... And beyond the other shore! Here you can take a hiking route, but if you don’t see any particular beauty, you should go through the forest. There are no heights, no special types. So we stopped at the edge, walked 500 meters through the forest to a handy parking lot with a fire pit, a toilet and a wood shed, and turned back to the car. 200 meters from the parking lot there is a place for lunch/overnight. It's quite different from the farm. If you don’t have to bet, you can kindly plan for the “dovgu” zupinka. From the parking lot, walks are often close to 400 meters away.
Let's go to the ford across the Herajoki River, to show the child the courage and courage of her father. We walk here and there several times, holding on to the safety ropes. The current is not strong and wading does not pose any danger. Coordinates of the ford near the Koli National Park: N 63 0.297 E 29.58.782
There is no auto-driving to the beach (in Finland it’s easy to look for peace and order and often reduce the car’s ability to stand in charge of the rulers). We are tired of dragging speeches for 300 meters, and we are going to joke about laava again. As soon as possible, dry the mushrooms in the middle.
We’ll spend the night in as much comfort as possible and go straight to Russia. Ale before cym Let's go to Joensuu to the Dot Museum. The museum is without cats and has great decorations. Trenches, two bunkers, a lot of exhibits, from a telephone to a mannequin sleeping on a bunk, photographs. Pillboxes have periscopes and other accessories for guarding the enemy and can be used to aim an armored weapon or machine gun. The exhibition at the museum in bunkers, like most similar ones in Finland, is only available by appointment. This fact is blinding to us. After all, the fragments of ours were lost here, we wandered around with satisfaction and marveled. You can walk around the territory, up to the river, depending on fate.
Well, if for whatever reason you can’t get to Finland by car, you might be surprised at how much air travel costs:
This Finnish fork ended up with us for three nights. The Koli National Park has already been honored. Possibly, more, no more. And we will definitely return here again, fortunately we travel by car to Finland regularly, although not as often as we would like.
