Koli, Hill summit in Lieksa, Finland.
The Koli summit rises 347 meters above sea level, featuring white quartzite formations and large treeless areas overlooking Lake Pielinen.
The Karelian fold mountains that formed Koli developed 1800 million years ago through tectonic plate movements, with erosion reducing them to current heights.
Four connected summits of Koli bear names from Finnish mythology: Ukko for Sky God, Akka for Female Spirit, Paha for Evil Spirit, and Pieni.
The extensive network of marked trails spans over 100 kilometers, guiding visitors through different elevation levels suitable for both hiking and winter sports.
Lake Pielinen near Koli freezes during winter months, creating Europe's longest official ice road for vehicles to traverse the frozen surface.
