Gorge
· Ukkohalla-Hyrynsalmi
· 251 m
Located in the mitts of the forest reserve Vorlok the gorge Vorlokki is surrounded by pine trees and blueberries, streams, and moos. While in summer you can hear the songs of a lot of birds, in winter you get fascinated by the amount of snow and the peace and quiet.
The gorge of Vorlokki is accompanied by a lot of myths and stories. A lot of them include trolls. The word Vorlokki can be translated into "ugly" and "horrible". Those words concern the stories told about the time the gorge was founded and all the trolls that could have lived there.
This mystical Vorlokki gorge, located in the wild and wide Finnish forest is definitely worth a visit. The impressive rocks and the peace and quiet is a perfect way to leave the day-to-day routines behind.
