Hirvas- ja Kuntasjoki syysasussa - Hirvas and Kuntas river in late autumn

Two small rivers with crystal clear waters, both flowing from west to eastwards, have their origin in Varrio nature reserve. Kuntas river has its source in Kuuts lake whereas Hirvas river flows from Deep Creek. The rivers join in one bigger river, with name Hirvas river just before the flow passes the Finnish - Russian border. The river joins Nuortti river in Russia which finally has its outlet in Tuuloma, at the Arctic Sea.
