General presentation
Kouvola et Repovesi
Forests, lakes and industrial heritage surround a railway junction in eastern Finland.
The discovery of Kouvola and Removesi is based around Removesi National Park, Verla Factory and Kouvola Railway Museum. The stay thus alternates between forests, shores and lakes, heritage and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature park
Parc national de Repovesi
Removesi alternate cliffs, forests and lakes formerly operated by the forest industry; suspension bridge, manual ferry and viewpoints make its circuits very fun.
Place indismissible
Usine de Verla
Verla maintains a 19th-century cardboard factory, its machinery and its workers' village on the edge of the rapids; the industrial complex is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Museum
Musée du chemin de fer de Kouvola
Kouvola was born at the crossing of the lines towards Helsinki, Karelia and St Petersburg; its railway district and locomotives recall this founding function.
