Nickes Odd Outdoor Adventures

The long term target for this outdoor adventure is to cover Finland from Head to Toe using only wind and muscle power. The objective is to complete the adventure using an odd combination of my favourite sports. The purpose is also to enjoy every step of the way and experience the extraordinary variety the Finnish nature has to offer. Lately I have taken up an Wilderness guide education program called ViGu. You'll be able to follow the program in the blog as well. Enjoy!

Bear Trail (Karhunkierros) 14-17.9.2006

Distance: 70 km
Duration: 4 days
Company: Katarina

Comments: The Bear Trail (Karhunkerros in Finnish) is the most popular hiking trail in Finland. The route passes through Oulanka national park in the North eastern parts of Finland, in the county of Kuusamo. The name comes from the saying that while hiking the trail you will have circumnavigate at least one bear on your way. The beer you will have to carry yourself.
