The river meanders below, and in its inner bends, flood meadows are ravishing in the afternoon sun. The river has straightened through the flooded meadow, and the rugged meadow island makes the landscape easily recognizable. There it is. The world’s most beautiful Finnish landscape. It opens from Pähkänänkallio, Kuusamo.

Route description
Pähkanänkallio offers perhaps the most photographed landscapes of Oulanka National Park.
We leave the parking lot at the end of Päähkänänkalliontie and dive straight into the forest of the national park area. After walking a kilometer, we are already at Pähkänänkallio, from where we can admire the scenery of Oulanka River in its all beauty. The eye rests while looking at the slowly flowing Oulanka River. Later in the autumn, it is great spot for viewing the autumn colors in full scale, but the view that opens up from the top is always incredibly enchanting sight.
From the cliff, we go down to the shelter next to the river, where we make hot drinks on open fire before returning back to the parking lot.
