KOUVOLA - The city by the Kymi River
How did Kouvola become the 10th biggest city
in Finland?
Anjalankoski, Elimäki, Jaala, Kouvola,
Kuusankoski and Valkeala merged
to form the new City of Kouvola on
1.1.2009.
At the same time, Kouvola became
the largest garrison city, and one of
the largest provincial cities, in Finland.
Kouvola has a population of 89,000
and a total area of 2,800 km2. Kouvola
is a city with over 450 lakes and over
7,000 summer cottages.
Kouvola is located in Southern Finland, only 90 minutes away from the
Capital Region by train or car. From
an international point of view, Kouvola is a gateway to the east for the
European Union. The distance to St.
Petersburg and Russia is less than 300
km and two trains depart for St. Petersburg every day.
There is a lively atmosphere in the
modern city centre, with fun-filled
and joyful experiences for children in
the busy amusement park. Wilderness
areas, lakes and forests, countryside
peace. Culture, theatre, concerts and
The municipality has a large total area.
However, all the tourist attractions are
within a half hour drive from the city
centre.
The Tykkimäki Amusement Park, the
Repovesi National Park, the Verla
World Heritage Site and the Mustila
Arboretum are the most famous tourist attractions in Kouvola at the moment. In addition to these magnificent attractions, there are also many
small and idyllic attractions worth experiencing in Kouvola. We will provide
more information on these attractions
in this brochure.
We will also tell you about the attractions of Iitti, our neighbouring
municipality, and its church village,
where the popular Iitti Music Festival
and other events are organised in the
summer.
Hope to see you soon

MILITARY PROVINCE OF EASTERN FINLAND
The Military Province of Eastern
Finland is responsible for defence
and planning in the regions of Kymenlaakso, Etelä-Karjala (South
Karelia), Etelä-Savo (Southern Savonia), Pohjois-Karjala (North Karelia)
and Pohjois-Savo (Northern Savonia). Kouvola can be called the
country’s biggest garrison. In fact,
in addition to the Headquarters of
the Military Province of Eastern Finland, in the Kouvola region there
are also the Karelia Brigade and
the Utti Jaeger Regiment. Furthermore, the garrison area of Kouvola
also hosts the Headquarters of the
Eastern Finland Logistics Regiment
and the Eastern Finland Management System Centre.
The new military provinces are
operational leaders both in time
of peace and in time of crisis. The
majority of the detachments or
military schools in their area operate under them. For the Military
Province of Eastern Finland, these
detachments are the Karelia Brigade in Valkeala, the North Karelia
Brigade in Kontiolahti, the Reserve
Officer School in Hamina and the
Military Province of Savonia and
Karelia with its headquarters in
Kuopio. In addition, the Land Warfare School in Lappeenranta partly
operates under the Military Province of Eastern Finland.
The Defence Forces rely on compulsory military service, regional
The country’s biggest
defence and on the fact that the
citizens have a strong will to defend
their country. Kouvola will also play
a major role in the future in the defence of the country.
Detachments to be
developed in the
Kouvola region
The Karelia Brigade is a strong dynamic and modern readiness Army
brigade in which all branches of the
Army are represented. The main task
of the brigade is to train troops to
defend Finland in the event of war.
The Karelia Brigade trains about
3,600 conscripts every year. About
600 salaried employees work in the
readiness brigade. Almost one third
of them work in civilian jobs.
The Utti Jaeger Regiment is a detachment under the Commander
of the Army. It is responsible for the
training and development of helicopter units for the Defence Forces
and Special Forces for the Army, for
implementing the flying operations
ordered, and for the nationwide
military police training. In addition
to the headquarters, the regiment
also includes the Helicopter Battalion, the Special Jaeger Battalion, the Support Company and the
Maintenance Centre. The helicopter
operations of the Defence Forces
are concentrated in Utti, where also
20 new NH90 Transport Helicopters
will be placed.
GARNISON is to be found in Kouvola
The Defence Forces’ large reorganisation can be seen clearly in the Kouvola region.
When the Army became an independent branch in the military, four operational
military provinces were established. The Military Province of Eastern Finland
began operations at the beginning of 2008.

NATURE ATTRACTIONS
Mustila Arboretum
The Mustila Arboretum is the most
important forest garden in Northern
Europe. The 120-hectare area, established at the beginning of the 20th
century, is right next to the road to
Helsinki and it is open daily. The most
famous ornamental shrubs in Mustila
are the rhododendrons, of which the
arboretum contains over 100 species
and varieties. The rhododendrons
bloom in June, when the hundreds of
rhododendron shrubs in the Rhododendron Valley erupt into a variegated
sea of flowers.
The foreign species of conifer trees,
which are grown as large forest stands,
sometimes create an exotic atmosphere. The trees enchant not just by
their peculiarity but also with their
size. For example, the tallest Douglas
firs of the southern slope have already
reached a height of about 40 m. In addition, Mustila Viini Oy and Mustilan
Taimitarhat (Mustila Nursery Gardens)
operate in the Mustila area.
The arboretum is open every day.
The address of the Info Point and office of
the arboretum is Mustilantie 57,
47200 Elimäki.
Tickets: Adults 6 €, pensioners 4 € and
students 3 €

Lapinsalmi Suspension Bridge
One of the most interesting attractions
in the Lake Repovesi area can be found
in Valkeala. It is the suspension bridge,
connecting the east and west side of
the Lapinsalmi strait. It is 50 metres
long and it weighs 5 tons. Going over
it on foot is always a unique experience for hikers. It is about 10 metres
above the water surface. On the east
side of the bridge, you can find a place
to make a fire and rest, with a hut
and all necessities.
Kuutti Canal
This log-floating canal located at Kuutinsalmi in Valkeala illustrates a part
of the history of industrialisation in
Finland and the culture that prevailed
in the region. The Kuutti Canal, connecting Repovesi and Tervajärvi, is 270
m long and it was built in 1912. First,
it was built in stone, but it was rebuilt
later to make it easier to drive the logs.
The channel has now been renovated
to its former state. The Valkeala amphitheatre, carved out by nature itself is
also located in Kuutinlahti. Kuutinlahti
has a place to make a fire and to rest
and is equipped with a hut and everything hikers need.

climbing. There is a marked path for
those who want to reach the hilltop on
foot, where you can enjoy a view over

PEACE OF MIND
Sometimes it is good to reduce stress by taking some fresh air in the woods. Experience nature at
its best in the Kouvola region: see the mighty rocks of Lake Repovesi from your canoe while it floats
along the 100-kilometre canoeing route from Lake Saimaa to the Kymi River or the 6,000-year-old
rock paintings of Verla. Relax by gazing into a fire in a log cabin, while sipping freshly brewed coffee. It
will be an unforgettable experience. Come and experience nature in the Kouvola region.

from the previous year. The international spring will continue with the exhibition of the modern art collection of
UPM-Kymmene Cultural Foundation. The summer exhibition features paintings by Mikko Sakala and the modern art
of the Kouvola China Week, from Kouvola’s partner city in
China. In the autumn, Harri Syrjänen’s jewel art will be presented together with paintings by Marikka Kiirikoff from
Kouvola. In December, the museum will feature the art
treasures of the new Kouvola, from the collections of the
former municipalities, and the annual national exhibition of

prior arrangement at other times). At the Fire Brigade Museum,
which is situated in a bomb shelter mined into the bedrock at

fire department. Do you remember the times when shopkeepers took sweets from a beautiful tin and wrapped them
in a paper cone? You can experience all of this at the Finnish
Boutique Museum. At the School Museum, you can learn about
school life in days gone by. The Pharmacy Museum smells of
”pharmacy” and holds a large collection of objects from the
first pharmacy in Kouvola, which was established in the 1890s.
