I stayed on an authentic
I stayed on an authentic Finnish farm deep in the forest of Koli National Park & inside spectacular Finnish Lakeland. Join me as I discover one of Finland‘s finest landscapes!

Koli National Park (Kolin Kansallispuisto) is a remote and rocky forest on the western shoreline of Lake Pielinen about 50 km north of Joensuu. The island and lake view has been immortalised by generations of painters and photographers turning this magnificent scene into a much loved national landscape.
My adventure in Koli National Park started on a historic farm called Kolin Keidas. I ended up sleeping in one of the wooden outbuildings of Mattila’s Farm - the site's original name. It was a unique experience and saved me some money along the way.
By mid morning I was back on the road heading for the car park of Koli National Park. From there I rode the Koli railcar (Kolin Kiskohissi) up to the nature centre and starting point for a plethora of hiking trails and walking routes. Excited and ready for some exercise I set off on the red route which would pass the highest point in the national park.
In the 19th century talented painters such as Eero Järnefelt would roam the hills of Koli looking for inspiration and enchantment. The hills, lakes, forest and islands would rarely let them down and from this very spot some of Finland’s most striking paintings would be painted.
As I explored the wonderful hills of Paha, Ukko & Akka I found the scene painted a century before my visit, and one that literally took my breath away. As I stood on a large white quartzite peak I was genuinely blown away by the stunning landscape right in front of my eyes. Nothing, not even the most detailed and vibrant of paintings can prepare you for seeing the real thing.
I enjoyed my day in Koli National Park so much that after summiting Ukko-Koli I returned to my car and set off for a lakeside road I had spotted whilst flying my drone. I wasn’t disappointed as the road led me to a couple of scenic beaches and a pretty wooded area on the hillside.
My day just kept getting better and I was lucky enough to end it at the top of the lofty Rasavaara Observation Tower (Räsävaaran Näkötorni) overlooking a seemingly endless landscape of forests, lakes, islands & the setting sun.
