Finland Small jetty at Kurula´s resort, Pyhä-Luosto National Park

The small jetty at Kurula’s Resort offers beautiful views across Lake Pyhäjärvi towards the surrounding fells. On calm days, the water becomes a perfect mirror, reflecting the autumn colors and creating stunning opportunities for landscape photography. There are also several other spots along the lakeshore where you can capture the reflections, especially during early mornings when the wind is low and the lake is completely still.

For reflections, get down low and use the calm water to create a stronger mirror effect. F

or more dynamic compositions, shoot from a higher position and use leaves or branches in the foreground to frame the lake.

For wider lake views, try different angles and experiment with your focal lengths to either emphasize the surrounding landscape.

Access to this jetty at the lakeshore is easiest by booking the private sauna at Kurula Resort for 90 minutes over the tourism board or the resort itself, which is well worth it for the combination of sauna, lake access, and views.

Otherwise, you can walk through the surrounding forest along the road and look for your own access points to the shoreline.
