Lieksa, Municipality in North Karelia, Finland
Lieksa extends across 4,067 square kilometers of land in eastern Finland, where lakes and forests shape the natural environment of North Karelia.
The municipal government formed in 1973 through the union of the Market town of Lieksa with the Municipality of Pielisjärvi.
Finnish traditions remain central to daily life in Lieksa, where 94 percent of the population communicates in the Finnish language.
The municipal service center at Pielisentie 3 provides residents with access to administrative functions, venue bookings, and computer facilities.
During winter months, Lake Pielinen freezes to form Europe's longest inland ice road, connecting the districts of Koli and Vuonislahti.
