Koitelinkoski is a treasure trove for nature enthusiasts, whether you're a local day-tripper or a curious tourist. Nestled in the heart of lush forested hills and abundant greenery, this region offers a slice of paradise for those eager to fish, canoe, kayak, or trek. The islands scattered throughout Koiteli are perfect for these adventures.
The Koitelinkoski rapids, part of the untamed River Kiiminki, are just four kilometers from downtown Kiiminki and a breezy 24-kilometer drive from Oulu. Exploring this area on foot is a breeze, thanks to well-marked paths that meander through the mainland and hop across islands. Suspension bridges lead you to several islands, including Pikkusaari, Sahasaari, and Pikniksaari. These bridges are a thrill, especially for kids and the young at heart.
The rocky cliffs along the shore make for cozy spots to sit back, relax, and soak in the beauty of nature. Plus, there are several campfire sites where you can whip up a meal and savor some refreshments. These spots are perfect for unwinding with family or friends. Fun fact: Koitelinkoski is not just a summer destination. In winter, when the landscape is blanketed in snow, it transforms into a winter wonderland. The frozen river and snow-covered trees create a scene straight out of a fairy tale.
