Koli National Park

Head over to Finland's Koli National Park to see our national landscape. This is Finland's most famous view that has inspired many artists, including the world-famous composer Jean Sibelius. The view of Lake Pielinen (4th largest in Finland) and the old forests from the top of Ukko-Koli hill has a special place in every Finn's heart.

This photo was taken on top of Ukko-Koli hill in Koli National Park, and is of Lake Pielinen. You can get there by taking Ylä-kaolinite Road from Koli. There's a parking lot right at the entrance and there's usually enough space during spring. After you've parked, take the stairs next to the parking lot. You will reach the nature center where you will see a lot of signs. Follow the sign that says Ukko-Koli. The path is 0.8km (around 0.4 miles) and it will take you 30 minutes to get to the spot. The path can be very slippery, so watch out. Once you're there, find a comfortable spot to fly your drone and enjoy the sweeping views.
