Shopping

Kuhmo’s natural wilderness serves as inspiration for local artisans to create art, crafts, food, and design products.

Some town centre shops are like buffets of design products, while in our remote villages you can explore the rich tradition of craftsmanship, an artist café, or local tar produced using old methods from the days when Kuhmo was known as a tar parish. The tar tradition lives on and continues to evolve: in Kuhmo’s Lentiira village new uses for this thousand year old process have been discovered in culinary, practical, and wellness realms.
