Kouvola sub-region

The Kymijoki water system and extensive forests define much of the Kouvola sub-region – they have long supported forestry, industry and settlement in this inland part of southeastern Finland. Centered on Kouvola in Kymenlaakso, the area is also an important rail junction, linking the Finnish interior with routes towards the east. Verla Groundwood and Board Mill, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996, preserves a distinctive chapter of Finland’s forest-industry heritage. Repovesi National Park, shared with neighbouring Mäntyharju, adds rugged lakes, wooded ridges and rock faces to the regional setting.
