Orhinselkä Sands and Nature Trail

In the middle of Miekojärvi Lake, the Orhinselkä peninsula sands are a unique natural attraction. Wilderness magazine Erä chose the Orhinselkä peninsula the most beautiful natural beach in 2007.
Kukkolankoski
(Tornio, FIN)
Kukkolankoski Rapids are the longest free-flowing rapids in Finland. The old tradition of dip net fishing is alive and well in Kukkolankoski. The rapids are located in the village of Kukkola 15 km to the north from Tornio.
Jaipaljukka Nature Trail
(Pello, FIN)
The large rock formation of Jaipaljukka was formed at the end of the ice age as the ice was melting and the tectonic plates were moving. A guided nature trail of about 4 kilometres is perfect for a short day hike. The trail begins in Pello some 12 km towards Rovaniemi.
