Oulanka National Park

The Oulanka National Park is located in the South Salla and Kuusamo regions. The Oulanka National Park is an excellent place for organising excursions. The popular Karhunkierros (Bear’s Trail) travels through the park. Shorter day trips lasting a few hours can also give you a good overall picture of the Oulanka nature and enable you to enjoy the surrounding national landscapes. The Hautajärvi Nature House presents the Oulanka National Park, the Bear’s Trail and the history of the region, as well as providing information about the special characteristics of the bog nature. The facility provides you information about outdoor pursuits, services in the region and Metsähallitus (formerly Finnish Forest & Park Service).
