A fantastic but also somewhat longer climb awaits you here. The forest you drive through looks great, like a magical forest

Kolin Alamaja Lakeside Restaurant & Activity Center

Highlight • Restaurant

Koli's old Alamaja was located on this site before. It was one of the three first tourist cabins, along with Ylämaja and Mattila farms. Accessibility was ensured by a telephone, which was still a rarity at the time. Alamaja was built in 1911 as a private summer house, but was soon bought by Metsähallitus to use as a lodge for tourists.

When the road to Yla-Koli parking lot was completed in 1933, the number of visitors arriving via the harbor gradually decreased. The old Alamaja was abandoned in the 1960s and the new Alamaja was built in 2004 at its current location on the shore of Lake Pielinen. The Sataman Polku trail continues left from this intersection. The path to the right leads to Mattila farm.
