Break Sokos Hotel Koli Live Cam

History

Long before Koli became a celebrated national park, its twin peaks—Ukko-Koli and Akka-Koli—towered over the forests in a landscape venerated by Karelian peoples. Mythic tales speak of Ukko, the god of thunder, and his divine consort, Akka, whose spirits were believed to inhabit the highest rocks. These legends fueled centuries of pilgrimage, as locals hiked “Koli sacred sites” to leave offerings at ancient stone cairns, seeking protection and bountiful harvests.
