Kolinuuro Loop 徒步
July 21, 2026
Today's weather was just as pleasant as yesterday's, although the lake was a bit rough with small waves. Our original plan was to row the boat out to one of the tiny islands, but because of the choppy water, we changed our plans and enjoyed lunch at a lakeside café near the ski lift instead.
After a short afternoon nap, I returned to Koli National Park to hike the Kolinuuro Loop, a 2.2-mile trail with about 425 feet of elevation gain, marked by red trail markers. Roughly half of the route overlaps with the Mäkrän Kierto Trail, giving me another opportunity to revisit several viewpoints we had missed the previous day.
Even on my second visit, the panoramic view from Koli Ukko was every bit as breathtaking as before. I also searched for the famous pine tree featured in Eero Järnefelt’s 1928 painting Landscape from Koli. The tree had died just last month, but I couldn’t identify its exact location. Even so, it was meaningful to walk through the landscape that inspired one of Finland’s most iconic paintings.
Looking back, I think we should have stayed at the hotel inside the national park. Having more time within the park would have allowed us to explore its trails and viewpoints at a much more leisurely pace.

今天的天气和昨天一样舒适宜人，只是湖面起了些小浪。我们原本打算划船前往湖中的一座小岛，但由于风浪较大，只好改变计划，到滑雪缆车旁的餐厅享用午餐。
午睡片刻后，其他人都还在休息，我一个人再次来到科利国家公园（Koli National Park），徒步 Kolinuuro 环线。这条步道全长约2.2英里（3.5公里），累计爬升约425英尺（130米），沿途以红色标记指引。大约有一半路段与昨天走过的 Mäkrän Kierto Trail 重叠，因此也让我有机会补看前一天错过的几个观景点。
即使是第二次登上乌科峰 (UKKO Koli)，眼前壮阔的湖光山色依然令我流连忘返。我还特意寻找芬兰著名画家 埃罗·耶尔内费尔特（Eero Järnefelt） 于1928年创作的《科利风景》（Landscape from Koli）中那棵著名的松树。据说那棵树就在上个月枯死了，而我最终也没能确定它原来的具体位置。尽管如此，能够漫步在这片孕育了芬兰最具代表性风景画之一的山水之间，依然是一件很有意义的事情。
看来住在山上国家公园里的酒店也许会是一个不错的选择，这样就能有更充裕的时间，慢慢探索公园里的各条步道和观景点，尽情享受这里的自然风光。
