Frozen waterfall 20218/14/2023 Or you can follow the 25km out-and-back trail. For trails, the canyon offers a 5-km scenic route that takes you along the impressive waterfalls. Or you can for a hike, ski or snowshoe along the trails. In the winter, the waterfalls are completely frozen and offers it one of the best place in whole Finland to practice ice climbing. For example, in fall: they are the perfect scene to admire the fall colors, while in summer: the national park offers unique flora and fauna, where you can go birdwatching or fishing. It is possible to pay a visit all year around! And the park has a lot of different activity opportunities depending on the season. Best Time to Visit Korouoma Nature Reserve Sometimes there was a more steeper part to go down or to go up, but that combination made it for me and my friends really interesting and fun. Another thing I really liked about this hike, is that it the scene was constantly changing, there were some bridges, some more open and wide places, and then suddenly you were really walking next to the trees. Along the way, I noticed that they placed information boards on the trail that tells more about this interesting history. While I was walking, I learned that the existence of this trail goes way back and it was originally an old horse track. A perfect combination between an easy hike, beautiful views and some quality time with friends (or yourself). The nature reserve is a really quiet place where you can just enjoy the silence and the nature surrounded by you. It’s a really nice break to just put some sausages on at the fireplace and enjoy with some hot coffee or tea that you brought along the walk. You also find multiple campfire areas that provides an incredible view of the Brown River, also known as the largest and highest waterfall at the national reserve. For equipment, I was wearing winter shoes, and I would definitely recommend this! But overall, the roads are good maintained.Īlong the way, we took several breaks at the multiple resting places and viewpoints where we stopped for some videos and pictures. Nevertheless, you have to pay attention that the trail can be slippery sometimes (you can ask my friend who joined) if the temperature is low and the road becomes icy. It was not that challenging, since it doesn’t have stairs or dangerous points. In my opinion, it was a perfect an easy trail that takes you along all the viewing points. It took me along the 3 most massive frozen waterfalls: Jaska Jokunen (Charlie Brown), Mammuttiputous (Mammoth Fall) and Ruskea Virta (Brown River). I took the 5km trail, called: Koronjää trail. In total, you can find 14 waterfalls in the Korouoma Canyon, but the trail to see these waterfalls is 25 kilometres in total and you need at least 2 days for this one. The Canyon itself is one of the most precious natural attractions in Finland and a large part of the area is protected. At the bottom of the river, you can find the Korojoki River, which ends up to the Kemijoki River. In some places, the steep rocky walls of the canyon rise more than 100 meters high. The 10 kilometers long and, in some places, several hundred meters wide canyon was formed about 600 million years ago during a subsidence of the earth’s crust and it is one of the deepest subsidence in Europe. On Saturday, 16th of January 2021, I visited the Koronjää circuit that is well known for its Frozen Waterfalls in winter time.
