Muhos: Tie 22 - Hyrkäs - Ouluun

Muhos lies along the Oulujoki River, where a settled river valley opens between farmland and boreal forest in mainland Finland. The municipality sits inland from Oulu on the river’s route from Lake Oulujärvi toward the Gulf of Bothnia, and its character is shaped by water, woods and rural land. Muhos Church, built in 1634, is among Finland’s oldest surviving wooden churches and a lasting marker of the parish’s early history. The Oulujoki also carried tar and timber toward the coast, connecting Muhos with northern Finland’s trade routes.

North Ostrobothnia stretches from the Gulf of Bothnia coast to forested uplands near Finland’s eastern border, encompassing low river plains, peatlands and northern boreal wilderness. The Oulujoki flows through the regional capital, Oulu, before reaching the sea; the city was founded in 1605 and remains an important centre for northern Finland. Inland, Kuusamo and the Ruka area bring a more rugged character, with extensive forests and a strong winter-sports tradition. Along the coast, open horizons and changing Baltic conditions shape daily life. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across North Ostrobothnia.

The terrain of Finland ranges from low coastal plains along the Gulf of Bothnia to fells in Lapland, creating a country of forests, lakes and long northern distances. More than 180,000 lakes shape everyday life, while the Lakeland region is threaded with waterways and islands. Helsinki, on the Gulf of Finland, combines neoclassical landmarks around Senate Square with contemporary Finnish design. Farther north, the Sámi are Finland’s only recognised Indigenous people, and their culture remains closely connected to the Arctic region. In winter, snow and ice transform the north; in summer, long daylight extends outdoor life well into the evening. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Finland.
