    This laavu (lean-to style shelter) is placed by the rapids at Kotaköngäs rapids on the River Tankajoki. It can be reached by a short trail from Tankavaara, making it very easy to access year-round, and therefore popular.

    As always in Finland there is a fire pit with wood and a toilet. Beautifully situated on a river - perfect for enjoying the tranquility
