Koli Scenic Region of Finland

Koli Scenic Region of Finland
The Koli scenic region, one of Finland's highest locations, is situated in Vaara Suomi (Hill Finland), between the cities of Joensuu and Nurmes. In Finnish, the word vaara refers to hills and ridges lower than the tree line. The elevated areas of Vaara Suomi, in the far eastern part of the country's Lake Region, drain into the lakes, swamps, and bogs of surrounding valleys.
