Jongunjoki
In between the lake Jonkeri near Kuhmo and the Pielinen near Lieksa there is a 80 km long water conection, which starts with the river Jongunjoki and from lake Nurmijärvi it continues as Lieksanjoki.
The 68 km long Jongunjoki has quite rough current at the beginning and is full of foaming rapids. After 30 km near Aittokoski the rivers calms down and you can enjoy the paddling through wild and beautiful countryside.
On your way there are good possibilities to rest for lunch at the campfire or even stay for over night. Either at a wooden shelter or a simple wilderness cabin.
