Village shop Wanhan Koulun Puoti

Café and shop in the spirit of the old school

Our shop is located in the middle of the most beautiful national landscape and wonderful hiking areas in the village of Vuonislahti. From our paths on the beach you can admire the hills of Koli on the other side of Lake Pielinen. You can enjoy nature without traffic jams and tourist masses.

At our place, you’ll enjoy friendly service and pizzas made with locally sourced ingredients. You can savor a glass of wine or our delicious lemonades, made at a nearby small farm.

We have a store featuring ecological products, local handicrafts, and interior goods where you can treat yourself or find souvenirs. Additionally, we sell groceries, and from our excellent second-hand book selection, you can find something for your reading pleasure.

You can reach our village directly by train from Helsinki with a short change at Joensuu, via the ice road from Koli in winter, or by boat in summer. We are open year-round.
