Winter in the North Karelia region is all about snow, cozy evenings around the campfire and saunas. In summer, on the other hand, the long days invite you to engage in lots of exciting outdoor activities around the numerous lakes.

Bomba's Karelian Village is a large complex and offers a wide range of activities in all seasons. It is located in the middle of the forest on Lake Pielinen not far from the city of Nurmes and has its own restaurant and a large spa area. There are hotel rooms and apartments with and without a sauna. The apartments have their own kitchens. The interior is overall Scandinavian simple with lots of wood and light colors.

The Bomba House was built in 1977/78 and has an interesting history, as it is a reconstruction of a house built in 1855 in Russian Karelia. The original idea behind the building was to offer people a corresponding place on the Finnish side after their evacuation after World War II, where they can continue to cultivate their Karelian culture. Nearby there is a well-preserved chapel (Tsasouna) and a meeting and event house (Kalevan-Hovi) in the same architectural style - dark wood and colorful decorations on the window frames, bay windows and railings.

There are also a few Karelian handicraft boutiques, regular events and traditional restaurants that are particularly well-known for their stews. Then as now, the main thing on the plate is what can be found in nature, such as mushrooms, herbs, berries, game and fish – also cured, pickled and dried.

The forests, the lake, the cultural offerings and the relaxed lifestyle in harmony with nature ensure all-round beautiful and active outdoor holidays.
