Kolvananuuro Nature Reserve

The exciting gorge at Kolvananuuro transports visitors back in time. Millions of years ago Kolvananuuro formed into a deep scar in the rock bed. The area has a very interesting geological history.

Many visitors come to Kolvananuuro to admire the untouched landscape of the gorge and its exceptional vegetation. Half a day is time enough to explore the area’s demanding nature trail, which leads at times across barren rocky terrain and then at others through old-growth and fern forest by murmuring brooks. Kolvananuuro Gorge is an interesting tourist sight as the landscape differs from the Finnish norm and the area is covered by diverse vegetation.
