Located on the border of Urho Kekkonen National Park, Kiilopää is a hiker's dream. It is surrounded by a unique network of marked trails and wilderness paths. This guide will lead you along these trails into the hilly wilderness for day trips and year-round hikes.
The routes serve as the central theme of the book. A respected nature connoisseur, Jouni Laaksonen reviews the day trips, hiking trails, ski trips, and ski tours he recommends, in order. Laaksonen explains what wonderful routes are available for day hikers on vacation in Kiilopää and where to go from Kiilopää for a week-long hike. The book also presents the history and nature of the region, as well as the attractions and historical sites along the routes. Numerous tips will help you avoid hazards and enjoy the wonderful nature of Lapland.
On the map accompanying the book, the routes are conveniently presented in their own distinctive color. This way, you can easily understand the type of route covered by each tire route. On the front is a 1:50,000 scale map that extends well beyond Sokosti. Recommended hikes and day trip routes from Sompio are marked on this map. Day trips and ski tours are shown on the more precise scale (1:25,000) map of the Kiilopää area in the background. The region's deserts are listed on the side of the map with their basic information and coordinates.
The map, made of Tyvek material, is waterproof and tear-resistant.
