Merenkira (Muhos) is a quiet municipality in the North Bothn district of Finland, situated on the banks of the Oulu River, about 25 kilometers from Oulu, the capital of the North Bothn district, in north-central Finland, near the edge of the Arctic Circle. A typical small town with a population of around 9,000 (2023 figures), it is known for its natural beauty and simple atmosphere. The Oulu River runs through the town and its banks are covered with dense coniferous forests, making it ideal for canoeing and hiking in summer and skiing and snowmobiling in winter. The town's Muhos Stone Church, built in the 17th century, is an important historical landmark in the area, showcasing traditional Finnish architecture. The climate here is subzonal, with long, cold winters and polar nights, and short, cool summers with long days, making it ideal for escaping the heat and exploring nature. With its pristine nature and slow pace of life, Merenkila is the ideal destination to experience the charm of the northern Finnish countryside.
