Kainuu Tar Route – Stage 1: Änätti to Kuhmo Town Centre (70 km)

The Kainuun Tervareitti is a long, regional canoeing and boating route.

This section takes you from the headwaters of Änätti through the beautiful Kainuu wilderness all the way to the town center of Kuhmo.

Stage 1 is designed as a four-day paddling trip. You can spend the first night in a holiday cabin, and the next two nights in wilderness huts. The daily distances vary between 12 and 25 km.

Alternatively, you can bring your own shelter and use one of the many official landing sites, which often have a lean-to shelter or a hut, or simply camp responsibly in nature under everyman’s rights.
