Juuka

The landscape around Juuka is a mosaic of boreal forest, waterways and the western shores of Lake Pielinen, which has shaped both settlement patterns and the local economy. This North Karelian municipality is associated with Nunnanlahti soapstone, a material long quarried in the area and used for fireplaces, stoves and architectural stone. Small settlements, working forests and lakeside roads give the area a distinctly inland Finnish character, while Lake Pielinen connects it to the wider lake district of eastern Finland.
