Korouoma Nature Reserve
Korouoma is a rugged canyon hundreds of millions of years old occurring in the bedrock fracture zone. The canyon was given its current form by the impacts of the Ice Age. The deepest point of the canyon is the central section at 100-130 metres deep. The canyon and its high cliffs form a breathtakingly rugged landscape to enjoy throughout the year. The site has a diverse range of different nature types with ridge terrain and small groves. www.luontoon.fi/korouoma
