156 day hike destinations! A guidebook in Finnish. QR link to maps!

All text in Finnish.

The proud hills, ancient forests, and clear waters of North Karelia once drew our Golden Age artists in search of inspiration for their work. Today, thousands of nature enthusiasts venture into the same landscapes for backpacking trips to relax and recharge. Koli, Patvinsuo, Petkeljärvi, Kolovesi, Ruunaa – there’s plenty to see.

This book presents 156 day hiking routes ranging from 1 to 20 kilometers in length, along with 22 multi-day trekking routes complete with services. The routes can be shortened or combined into longer treks if desired. Sixteen of the routes are at least partially accessible. The book also offers an overview of the region’s nature and history.

Tommi Sirviö, M.Sc., a physical geographer, teaches geography and biology and spends nearly all his free time backpacking. He has previously written hiking guides for Calazo on Nuuksio, Repovesi, Hossa, and Northern Lapland, as well as parts of the Helsinki region guide.
