About
Kivijärvi is a village in central Finland, in the Keuruu sub-region. It was once a municipality of its own, until it was merged with Äänekoski in 2007, and today it is part of that larger town. Visitors come to it for what the place is best known for: its lakes and the forests that surround them.
What a visit offers
- Lakes, which give the village its character and make it a natural base for time outdoors.
- Forest landscapes typical of the region, suited to quiet walks and a slower pace.
- A small, rural setting that contrasts with the bigger towns nearby.
Getting oriented
Kivijärvi sits in the heart of Finland, so it suits travellers who want to combine a stay in the countryside with visits further afield. Because it is now part of Äänekoski, the wider town is the practical reference point for services and onward travel, while the village itself keeps the feel of its own community.
If you enjoy lakeside scenery and forest surroundings rather than city sights, Kivijärvi is a place to consider. Plan around the lakes and the landscape, and allow time to simply take in the surroundings.
