Lieksa & Ruunaa Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Buses ply the route around Lake Pielinen, and trains run to Lieksa from Joensuu and Nurmes, but the coolest way to arrive here is by lake ferry from Joensuu (via Koli). A huge 250-person car ferry (adult/child €15/8 one way, car/bicycle €10/2, 1½ hours) runs twice daily between Lieksa and Koli from June to mid-August, departing at 9.30am and 3.30pm, returning at 11.30am and 5.30pm.
