After having hurried away from Ukko-Koli due to other people, and stopped by rather quickly at Akka-Koli, we finally sat down to enjoy the stunning view from Paha-Koli. Contrary to its name (paha means bad or evil), the heart begins to beat slower when taking in both height of the hills, tall trees, deep dive (do be careful, it probably gets slippery in or after rain!) down (well, upon that thought, I felt it skip a couple of beats), vast expanse of lake landscape, a few boats creating sharp lines across the water, small islands as covered in evergreen trees as everywhere around us, and of course the enormous sky above. Us Finns love our clean, beautiful nature, and this moment certainly grounded me whilst making me ponder the great, important questions of life. I’m grateful for having experienced Koli.

In the nightless nights of the Finnish summer, in pure silence - far from busy city lives - enjoying the safeness, clean climate and clean waters, river Koitajoki and lake Koitere offer great opportunities for both short and longer canoeing trips. Diverse nature in Ilomantsi range from pine-clad esker ridges to bald swamp. These waters have had important role for our farther and generations before him, by providing fish to eat and a mean to transfer wood and other big items, before the roads, trains and trucks existed in this rural area. Now these waters offer wilderness and quiet environment for visitors to be with nature. Both Koitere and Koitajoki are suitable even for the more inexperienced paddlers, and are also perfect for fishing.
