Paddling the wild rapids of Lutinjoki in Finland
In this video we are paddling down the river Lutinjoki, which is located between Patvinsuo national park and Finland's border with Russia. The five rapids of Lutinjoki are Niskakoski, Leveäkoski, Saarikoski, Saivarvirta and Valkeakoski. What makes this place so special, is the untouched wilderness of the area, with nobody else in sight, if it wasn't for the local wildlife!

    @tapioportimo2551 We only go to Patvinsuo national park in May, as soon as the ice melts, because otherwise the water levels are way too low to make it comfortable down the river. Also, summer + swamp = mosquito hell! 😁

    • @veclaventures
      @veclaventures 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for watching our video! Here in Finland you will find only 3 types of snakes: grass snake, smooth snake (but only in Ahvenanmaa) and adders. The adder snake is the only venomous snake we have in the country. When bitten, you have a 99,99% chance of surviving. The last known fatal incident dates back to the 90ies, as far as I know. A bite requires a visit to the ER, though, because there might be other less severe symptoms and allergic reactions.

      Hey Stine, thanks for watching one of our videos! The starting places for paddling in Linnansaari national park have been either Oravi or Rantasalmi (right next to Hotel Järvisydän). Both are approximately of equal distance to the hotspots, if you are trying to see some seals :)

    Regarding the, “Pot Holes…,” My first thought was that they are connected to the aqua firs that supply the water system for this lake, and that, maybe with wave action, they get filled in with sediment. But, since I know very little on these subjects, I could be way wrong. Gorgeous lake, though…

    • @veclaventures
      @veclaventures ปีที่แล้ว

      That's a very interesting theory! 🤔 The lake was so cold, that it could definitely be about springs feeding water to it.

      10 ft?! That's huge! 😲 We haven't noticed any smell around the holes, yet they might just be inactive.
