The sender provided so much great information. :) She wrote that Koli National Park, located in the North Karelia region, is one of the best-known national landscapes in Finland. The views are breathtakingly beautiful. (I agree with that!)
Over a hundred years ago, the Finnish Travel Association started marketing Koli's nature to tourists. The nature of Koli has inspired many of Finland's famous artists, like their best-known composer, Jean Sibelius, and especially one of their famous painters, Eero Järnefelt.
She recommended this website for learning more about Koli and Finnish nature: www.outdoors.fi/koli.
I also learned that Koli National Park:
- covers 12 square miles in the forested hills on the western shore of Lake Pielinen
- was established in 1991
- has been called one of the national sceneries of Finland
