Great view from this observation tower. At the foot of the tower there is a shelter where you can also have a barbecue.

Kemijoki Bridge Rovaniemi

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge is modeled on the torches known in Germany as “Swedish fire”.
In Finland, pieces of trunk are skilfully cut and lit like a torch
