Lake Saivojärvi

Highlight • Lake

Crystal clear water - there's a big parking lot at this point but if you follow the shore to the west a tiny bit there is a spot with a sandy lake bottom and out of sight of the highway.

View of the Bog

Highlight • Viewpoint

Relatively large bog that can be seen from the road

Kirkkopahta Sámi Altar

Highlight • Historical Site

An ancient Sámi ritual site, just a 100m off of the main road. These days you can still see reindeer bones and other offerings that people leave here. Climbing on the rock is forbidden.

Pahtajoki River

Highlight • River

Small meandering river

Tip by

I can only recommend to visit this café on a cross-country round for a break. Decorated with love, it is worth watching from outside and inside. Very cozy decor and the hot berry juice is really delicious, not too sweet.
