Kuusamo is a town located in northern Finland (the region of Koillismaa), almost in Lapland. The area is well-known for the rugged wildernesses, Karhunkierros hiking trail, national parks such as Oulanka & Riisitunturi, big canyon lake called Julma-Ölkky and the holiday/ski resort of Ruka. The famous rapids called Kiutaköngäs are located in Oulanka.
