Day 1

Here I go again. The weather is like that day in Levanger Norway pitching the tent in heavy rain. 😄
My plan is to hike the route around Herajärvi Lake in and around the Koli National Park. Both north and south part of the route. It's a bit over 60 kilometres and described as a demanding route because it's basically constant ascent and descent on a path full of tree roots and rocks. I've planned 4 full days for this route, but still a bit nervous how heavy it's actually going to be.
I arrived to Koli village in early evening and hiked just few kilometres to the first possible tent place. The ascent started immediately from the village.
There's nobody else on this tent place. Just me and the cows. Surprising as Koli National Park is among I think top 5 National Parks visited by people and there are not many tent places near these iconic peaks and national landscape from which many paintings have been made, and many composers have got inspiration.Read more
