Paanayärvi National Park

Duration: 4 days

For individual tourists and groups of up to 15 persons;

Stunning nature, crisp silence and pure air near the lake comparable, perhaps, with Lake Baikal only. The center of power. Seidas. Waterfalls.

The program features:

Route: Kivakkakoski Waterfall (walking tour)

  • Route length: 4.5km;
  • Estimated time: 2 hrs;
  • Walking tour;

Kivakkakoski is the most powerful natural rapid of Karelia. It is 12m high. This landmark is magnificent at any time of the year! In early 20th century, when logs were transported down the rapid, a stone dam was built. It exists until now.

The trail to Kivakkakoski rapid starts from the former village of Vartiolampi, the borderline before the WWII. There are only cellar pits from ex-houses overgrown with raspberry bushes left here. An old Karelian house has been restored in the middle of the natural boundary. It displays Karelian living of the early 20th century.

The route passes along the banks of the River Olanga, with a jaw-dropping view of Ivanov rapid in the middle. Here you can see two huge millstones.

 Paanayärvi Lake (walking & water tour)

  • Route length: 18km;
  • Estimated time: 3 hrs;
  • Walking & water tour;

The route runs along Paanayärvi Lake , one of the deepest lakes of Fennoscandia.

The shores of Lake Paanayärvi are hugged by Mutkatunturi (438 m) and Tirovaara (357 m) mountains.

At the beginning of the route, the lake offers a view of the old Russian-Finnish border — this is a wide, clearly visible swathe. Further, on the right bank, on a sandy beach by the River Mutka, which flows into Lake Paanajärvi, you can see a tourist camp. It is the start of the coastal trail leading to the old Finnish farm Arola, with restored houses and information boards with the history of settlements on the shores of the lake and the way of living in the village in the 1930s.

Glades are visible along the entire lake on the shores — these are ex-Finnish settlements. Some of them have house remains and antique stoves.


 

 

One of the most peculiar landmarks of this route is 60m high sheer rock Ruskeakallio (Brown Rocks). There is a short stop here without going ashore.

From the rock, the route runs further in the west, and at the 18th kilometer ends with a pier near the mouth of the River Mäntyjoki. Here, we come ashore. Organized parking with a fireplace, firewood, a gazebo and a WC to unwind on the shore of the lake.

The picturesque trail is upstream of the river to Mäntykoski Waterfall. This is a beautiful 9m high five-cascade waterfall. The force of the dropping water was once used by locals: there was a water mill here. The waterfall has always lured artists and photographers. Even up until now.

Route: Kivakka Mountain 
(walking tour)

  • Route length: 5 km;
  • Estimated time: 2 hrs;

Kivakka has the largest number of sanctuaries (clusters of seidas). Seidas were places of worship for the first inhabitants of these places — the Saami. Not far from the top of the mountain there is a huge seida that resembles the old woman's head. Probably, this is the reason why the name stems from this word: “kivakka” translated from Saami means “stone guardian”. The top of the mountain offers a magnificent view of  Lake Pääjärvi, Kivakkakoski rapid, the peak of the highest mountain in Karelia – Nuorunen (576.7m), and in clear weather Finland's mountain peaks are perfectly visible.
