Destination: Finland, North Carelia.
Duration: 8 days.
Reception and End: 2 days, in Joensuu.
Trekking Days: 6 days.
Distance: 100km (62Miles)
Level of Difficulty: Easy.
Itinerary: The Carelian Forest is just waking up of a long winter. The wolf's trail is still quite silent. But this is the right time to open the way! The uncountable lakes and ponds will wait for you as their first guests after the winter ice have disappeared. The small ridges, sometimes bordered by one lake on each side, will make your trekking like an aerial journey, but you shouldn't get worried too much with the slopes to climb. Actually, just the opposite! This trekking, in spite of it's length, is accessible to everyone! At the first night, you will fall in love with the log-cabin by "The Big Lake of the North" Eh, don't get scared when a river will come to cut off our trail! Small rafts will exercice your arms while giving some rest to your legs involved in 100km of hiking which will lead you to a national park who's symbol is a brown bear. It could have been a wolf, but this last one is much more crafty to avoid you and to hide itself in the depth of those forests at the doors of Russia. More pictures here.
