Patvinsuo National Park Getting there & around

Getting there & away

There is no public transport. From Lieksa, drive 18km east towards Hatunkylä, then turn right to Kontiovaara, along a narrow, very scenic road. When you reach a sealed road (Uimaharjuntie), turn left, drive a few hundred metres and turn right. If you drive along the eastern runon ja rajan tie route, turn west as you see the small 'Uimaharju' sign, just south of the Lieksa-Ilomantsi border. If you are trekking, the Karhunpolku (Bear's Trail) and Susitaival (Wolf's Trail) both lead here, as the park is where these trails meet.
