Riisitunturi, Hill in Posio, Finland.
Riisitunturi rises 465 meters above sea level, featuring sloping bogs and dense taiga forests across its 77 square kilometer expanse in southern Finnish Lapland.
The national park, established in 1982, preserves the natural features of the Koillismaa region while providing protected spaces for local wildlife and plant species.
The surrounding area maintains connections to traditional Sámi practices, reflecting the historical presence of indigenous communities in Finnish Lapland.
The park offers multiple trails ranging from 4.3 to 33 kilometers, with the Riisin Rääpäsy Trail providing a shorter circular route suitable for families.
During winter months, moisture from Lake Kitkajärvi creates thick frost formations on the spruce trees, transforming the landscape into white-covered forest structures.
