Introducing Lake Pielinen Region
The northernmost part of Finnish Karelia is centred around Pielinen, Finland's sixth largest lake, and impressive even in a region dominated by water features. Several attractions can be found on its shores; the Koli National Park for summer views and winter skiing, the active centres of Lieksa and Nurmes, and, nearby, the Ruunaa whitewater rafting centre. It's a place to be active; the towns offer little apart from bases for getting into the great outdoors. A main road and numerous minor roads encircle the lake, ferries cross it in several directions, and, in winter, an ice road provides a thrilling short cut across it.
