Ilomantsi

Ilomantsi lies along the Ilomantsinjoki River, amid North Karelia’s wooded lake country close to Finland’s eastern border. The municipality reaches Finland’s easternmost point, and its identity is shaped by the Karelian traditions shared across this borderland. The Orthodox Church of the Prophet Elijah reflects the area’s long-standing Orthodox presence. During the Continuation War, the Battle of Ilomantsi was fought here in 1944. Petkeljärvi National Park, within the municipality, protects terrain of lakes, forest and glacial ridges.
