Located in northern Finland, the Korouoma Nature Reserve is an impressive area known for its deep gorge, steep rock walls and beautiful waterfalls. The reserve is a popular destination for nature lovers, hikers, climbers and adventurers. One of the most striking features of Korouoma is the 30 kilometer long gorge, which in some places is more than 100 meters deep. This gorge was created by glacial erosion during the last ice age and is surrounded by imposing rock walls of limestone and quartzite. In winter, the waterfalls along the gorge freeze, creating a spectacular ice climbing paradise for experienced climbers. In addition to the breathtaking gorge, the Korouoma Nature Reserve also offers several hiking trails and viewpoints where visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness. There are several marked trails that vary in length and difficulty, allowing both novice and experienced hikers to find something to suit their level. The reserve is also home to a rich variety of flora and fauna, including rare plants, birds and mammals. It is an excellent place for bird watchers, with chances to see birds of prey, owls and other bird species. It is a true treasure for nature lovers and a must-visit destination for anyone who wants to experience the breathtaking beauty of the Finnish wilderness.

A hike to Korouoma in the snow is an enchanting experience that takes you deep into the winter wilderness of Lapland. During the winter months, Korouoma transforms into a fairytale landscape covered in a thick layer of snow, making it an idyllic destination for adventurous hikers and nature lovers. One of the highlights of the walk to Korouoma is the Koronjää. A beautiful circular walk of about 12 km along an impressive ice wall that is created by the freezing of water that seeps from the rock walls. This ice wall can reach enormous dimensions and is a spectacular sight, especially in winter. As you walk through the snow-covered paths of Korouoma, you will be surrounded by serene silence and breathtaking views of snow-capped trees, frozen waterfalls and glittering ice formations. The white splendor of nature creates a magical atmosphere that enchants your senses and lets you experience the beauty of winter in a unique way. It is important to wear warm clothes and suitable footwear as temperatures in Lapland can be very cold during winter.
Despite the challenges of winter conditions, a hike to Korouoma in the snow offers an unforgettable experience full of adventure, wonder and the chance to enjoy the untouched beauty of the Finnish wilderness in its most magical season.

Het Korouoma Nature Reserve, gelegen in het noorden van Finland, is een indrukwekkend gebied dat bekend staat om zijn diepe kloof, steile rotswanden en prachtige watervallen. Het reservaat is een populaire bestemming voor natuurliefhebbers, wandelaars, klimmers en avonturiers. Eén van de meest opvallende kenmerken van Korouoma is de 30 kilometer lange kloof, die op sommige plaatsen meer dan 100 meter diep is. Deze kloof is ontstaan door glaciale erosie tijdens de laatste ijstijd en wordt omgeven door imposante rotswanden van kalksteen en kwartsiet. In de winter bevriezen de watervallen langs de kloof, waardoor ze een spectaculair ijsklimmenparadijs vormen voor ervaren klimmers. Naast de adembenemende kloof biedt het Korouoma Nature Reserve ook diverse wandelroutes en uitkijkpunten waar bezoekers kunnen genieten van panoramische uitzichten op de omliggende wildernis. Wij kiezen voor een wandeling naar de Koronjää. Een mooie rondwandeling van zo'n 12 km langs een indrukwekkende ijsmuur die ontstaat door het bevriezen van water dat van de rotswanden sijpelt. Deze ijsmuur kan enorme afmetingen bereiken en is een spectaculaire bezienswaardigheid, vooral in de winter. Terwijl je door de besneeuwde paden van Korouoma loopt, word je omringd door een serene stilte en een adembenemend uitzicht op met sneeuw bedekte bomen, bevroren watervallen en glinsterende ijsformaties. Het reservaat herbergt ook een rijke verscheidenheid aan flora en fauna, waaronder zeldzame planten, vogels en zoogdieren. Het is belangrijk om warme kleding en geschikt schoeisel te dragen, omdat de temperaturen in Lapland tijdens de winter erg koud kunnen zijn. Ondanks de uitdagingen van de winterse omstandigheden, biedt een wandeling naar Korouoma in de sneeuw een onvergetelijke ervaring vol avontuur, verwondering en de kans om te genieten van de ongerepte schoonheid van de Finse wildernis in haar meest magische seizoen.

Mist rising as early sun hit the water. This tree fallen at lakeside gave me a touch of fall colour.
. Sunny here at present but a mighty sunrise so we may be in for some rain again.
Have a good day

There are a few trails in Smuggler Cove and each end at different points. This one with no apparent name, ends at an out cropping of rocks. It looks out at an island to the left and the other end of the cove to the right. Between lay the Salish Sea and one more very distant island. It is all quite picturesque.

Alone on the rocky perch, the silence was pleasing. However, there were a few seals playing around another corner, and out of my view. It sounded like they were having a party and making distant, although legible snorts. When it comes to nature, sometimes the end of trail is only the beginning.
