Kolvananuuro Gorge is a breath-taking sight carved out by Ice Age glaciers in North Karelia. At the bottom of the gorge, a clear stream winds between large glacial erratic rocks. Winter turns to spring about one month earlier at the bottom of the gorge than on the slopes. In Kolvananuuro, the rugged landscape reveals traces of the Ice Age. Over a short distance, the gorge offers a full overview of nature in eastern Finland. The trail travels along the side of steep cliffs and through bogs and old coniferous forests. At the end, it rises to the peak of a fell, opening up a magnificent vista.
