Le parc national Ukko Koli attracts over 100 000 visitors each year.
The Ukko Heritage Centre includes a tourist info point, Vakka Nature Shop, and the Koli Heritage Exhibition with displays of local geology, nature, culture. There are also 8-10 changing exhibitions (art, architecture) annually.
The Heritage Centre also provides a small library, internet access, cloakroom and toilet facilities. You can buy the Ukko Pass (adults 5€, children 6-16 years/2€; family pass/12€; groups of 10 or more/4€/person) to see the exhibitions plus multimedia shows in the auditorium and media studio.
The National Park is always open! It inspires, and it offers experiences and opportunities to pursue a wide range of interests.
Let’s take an outing!
The summer and winter routes take the wanderer from the Koli national landscape to the fells, open fields, forests, and beaches. If you’re into hiking and don’t get your fill of North Karelian scenery from a day excursion, then the Lake Herajärvi Trail is your likely choice. For canoeing and boating, the waters of Lake Pielinen are easily accessible from Koli Harbour. There are also other pursuits, such as geocaching, that can bring you to close contact with nature. Get enchanted with nature at the treasury of the Koli National Park, its old forests, groves, and cultural milieux.
Take part! Experience! Live!
