There's more than Helsinki in Finland

Overview

Quote:
If you have time and are in good condition, you can go for a 80 km hike called "karhunkierros" and see all the beautiful landscapes. For busy people there is shorter route where you can see all the highlights, largest rapids for example.

Quick Tips:

Best Way To Get Around:

A flight to Helsinki, by bus to Kuusamo and Oulanka national park.
Quote:
Along the hiking routes there are several cabins for overnight. They all are free of charge but you have to be neat and clean up before you leave the cabin. There are berths without mattresses and some kind of fireplace in the huts.
