ラップランドの天然記念物・トップ20

The Three-Country Cairn is the tripoint at which the international borders of Sweden, Norway and Finland meet. Fun fact: it is the northernmost international tripoint in the world.

Fantastic view over the national park

The iconic Kiilopää (546 m) is one of the best-known fell tops in northern Finland. It's a classic rounded fell (tunturi) with an immense sense of space as the views are so far-reaching across the open terrain. Access is fairly easy, with a wooden staircase and gravel path on the lower sections.

You can decide whether to buy a ticket to visit the mine or just try searching for gems on your own in the field just outside. This could be a good spot to lean your bike against and stretch your legs while looking for precious stones.

This waterfall, about 8 meters high, is located along the Saukkovaaran trail, in the middle of a protected forest area. The water cascades powerfully down a steep rock face and spreads out like a white fan over the rocks. The waterfall is most impressive at higher water levels, but even without much water, it's still a stunning sight.

An iconic and shapely peak that's held sacred by Sámi people, Saana rises on the border between Finland, Sweden and Norway. To celebrate a century of Finland's independence, the mountain was lit in blue light in Decemeber 2017, the largest such illumination in the world.

Iisakkipää Fell rises to around 454 metres above sea level and provides sumptuous views across the Lapland landscape. The summit is relatively easily reached from Saariselkä.

You can search for amethysts in a field yourself. Good luck finding something.
