Razed by the German army during the Second World War, the town was rebuilt in a piecemeal fashion. Nevertheless, the superb surrounding area and its impressive nature clearly announce the proximity of Lapland, of which Kuusamo is in fact the eastern gateway. The roaring waters of rivers such as the Kitkajoki, reserved for experienced sportsmen, tumble down gorges and canyons. The Oulankajoki and the Iijoli also offer their share of thrills for novices. The region also boasts the superb Oulanka National Park, home to the country's most famous itinerary: the Bear Circuit.
