Bear watching in Wild Taiga
Seeing bears in the forest of Kainuu will provide you with an extraordinary natural experience! The Wild Taiga provides Europe's greatest site for bear watching. Summer is the finest season to see European wild brown bears since there is ample light to picture these gorgeous creatures all night. Early April marks the start of the bear-watching season. Large, ravenous males are the first to awaken while there is still snow on the ground. Mothers give birth to cubs in the den during hibernation in the winter. They only bring the cubs out once the earth has completely thawed, which is generally around June. The greatest viewing season is from June to September, although it lasts until October.
There are a number of firms in the region that provide beast viewing trips. Visitors to the Martinselkonen Wilderness Centre can view mother bears with their pups, and bear safaris are available at Arola Farm Holidays. The Boreal Wildlife Centre and Bear Centre conduct high-quality viewing and filming trips, while Wildlife Safaris Finland's excursions take you to the heart of Russian wolf pack territory in Finland and Russia's "No Man's Land" border area. Alternatively, guests can participate in self-drive wildlife adventure programs for international tourists and photographers. Although there is no age restriction for sightseeing tours, you must be able to be quiet, thus it is best suited for somewhat older children.
Hossa National Park's rocky wilderness routes and pristine lakes are a feast for hikers and campers! There are several levels and lengths of treks, as well as plenty of room and sights to explore. Hossa National Park has 100 kilometers of marked trails, 60 kilometers of canoeing trails, dozens of sheds and campfire sites, Julma-lky, Finland's largest canyon lake, and the unique Hossa Värikallio rock paintings, which are among Finland's largest prehistoric rock paintings painted with red and yellow ochre.
