Isokuru gorge is in Pyhä-Luosto national park and is Finland's deepest gorge at 220 meters deep. 😯

The gorge is located between two fell tops and the tale of Isokuru goes back billions of years. 💫 One of the many great examples in how the ice age has effected our Finnish landscape. 🏞️🌝

We had the chance to visit the amazing smoke sauna in Kiilopää and swim in the fresh river water surrounded by autumn colours. 🍂🍁
⠀
The water was colder than expected but refreshing and with a sauna it's the perfect combination. We can highly recommend this smoke sauna if you ever near Kiilopää! 🤗

Laavu's, Kota's, and Wilderness huts! oh my! 🙈
⠀
Here are a few different styles of shelters you may come across while hiking in Finland. There are over 4000 shelters like these throughout the whole country. 😅👏🔥
⠀
Laavu's usually consist of 3-walls and are by far the most common shelter here in Finland. Kota's will have a tipi like structure with a fireplace in the center, some even with doors. Wilderness huts are full-on four walls and a roof, normally equipped with a wood stove for heating, bed frames, and always some surprises! 😉🔥

First day of September. 🍂
⠀
It can be quite hard to get back into our daily routines, especially with summer holidays behind us. If you are having trouble settling back into your workplace, perhaps you need something to reduce that stress and bring you back down to earth. 💨
⠀
Try spending your day off outdoors! Spend your day walking through the forest, focusing on only the little miracles in front of you. Every step further into the forest is a step further away from the weight of your work. Bring some warmer clothes and some snacks, maybe, a hot thermos with your favourite tea for the way. Go on your own or with a friend who also needs a break. 🌲🍃
⠀
If you don't know where to go, you can always contact us for tips, or book a private day for you and your family. 😌🍁☀️
