At the Karhunkierros trail there is still a lot of snow. When snow melts, the rivers and streams of Oulanka National Park flood. Floodwater covers the trail in several locations. The flood season lasts for about two weeks. We recommend of hiking the Karhunkierros trail at the earliest in the end of May.
Because of the coronavirus, safe distances should be kept even in nature, and thorough hand hygiene should be followed at huts, campfire sites and after using the toilet. Metsähallitus' policies and guidelines will be updated as the general corona guidelines become more specific.
