The Kolvananuuro gorge valley was formed about 1.8 billion years ago when the bedrock of the ancient Karelian mountain range cracked and shifted. This created the Kolvananuuro fault. Hundreds of millions of years have weathered and eroded the folded mountain range, which was a kilometer high, and the roots of the mountain are still visible. The area has an interesting geological history.
Kolvananuuro gorge valley is a time travel to the past for hikers. The valley's varied temperature and moisture conditions have contributed to the development of unique vegetation where northern and southern plant species can live side by side. The gorge also provides a good habitat for various bird species, including rarer species such as the Siberian accentor and the red-breasted flycatcher.
The gorge valley is difficult to walk in many places, especially at the bottom of the canyon where caution is needed. On the route following a small brook, stones can be very slippery, but the place is definitely worth experiencing. Along the route, on the shore of the Small Koirilampi pond, there is a campfire site, woodshed, and outhouse.
The area is managed by Metsähallitus, Lake Finland Nature Services.
The nature trail is a circular route about 5 kilometers long, marked with orange-yellow signs.
