Waterfalls and Rapids of Oulanka National Park

Follow the sound of rushing water into one of Finland’s most spectacular landscapes.

This full-day adventure takes you through the very best of Oulanka National Park — from roaring rapids and powerful waterfalls to forest trails and breathtaking viewpoints. It’s a journey through the wild north, where every turn reveals something new.

​

🌲 A day filled with iconic landscapes

We begin our journey in the southern part of the park, stepping onto a scenic section of the famous Little Bear’s Trail.

Along the way, we explore some of Oulanka’s most beautiful and photographed locations:

• The charming Myllykoski rapids

• The lively Aallokkokoski

• The powerful Jyrävä waterfall

Here, the river shows its true strength — carving through the landscape, shaping the forest around it.

​

🌿 From forest trails to roaring waters

After our first hike, we take a short drive deeper into the park. We then continue on foot along a peaceful riverside path leading to the majestic Kiutaköngäs — the roaring heart of Oulanka.

​

🔥 Campfire moment in nature

Of course, no MyTrail day is complete without a proper break.

We gather around a campfire to enjoy a hearty outdoor lunch and fresh coffee. Surrounded by forest and flowing water, this is a moment to slow down, recharge, and simply be.

Because everything tastes better in nature.
