We weren't sure what to expect but the views from these hills are absolutely stunning! Special thanks to perfect weather and golden-red-green palette of autumn! Wonderful surprise, highly recommend.

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.

Very funny but nice looking statue! I didn't even know these were to be found in Joensuu. Great opportunity to take funny pictures with this statue.
