Joensuu and Ilomantsi

Carelian culture, epic songs and eastern forests give this border a special voice.

To understand what Joensuu and Ilomantsi are, you must look at the northern Karelia Museum, Parppeinvaara and Petkeljärvi National Park. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, forests, shores and lakes and heritage and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
