Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
One of the biggest rivers in Finland, the Ounasjoki River starts its journey from Enontekio. The Ounasjoki is an ancient thoroughfare of Lapland and it continues its journey through Lapland, all the way to Rovaniemi. You can explore the river by canoeing or rowing or you can just relax and try to catch a salmon! The river takes you on an adventure into the untouched nature and to the little villages along the riverbank.

Koiteli is little bit "busy" place and all time Oulu people favorite destination. Fast flowing river is very nice and barbecue places are excellent. There are very good walking ways and nature trip goes easy there. My 3 y.o son was going totally crazy while exploring place. This is place to visit spring time when water is more wild.

We did a 2 hour trail ride and it was simply awesome! Was luckily enough to be just us on the activity! I haven't ridden much at all and have to say that the Icelandic Horses are the most lovely, calm, well mannered and ideal horses to ride! The area where the stables are located and the trail we went on is stunning - the temperature was around -16°C and had over a metre of snow on the ground in a lot of places but this just added to the beauty and splendor! Our guide was amazing too - explained everything that we needed to know how to ride, control the horses and had some interesting facts about the horses we were riding and the breed themselves! I highly recommend this to visitors as an activity to do for many reasons - the horses, scenery, time away from the slopes, to relax and many more! One tip - just make sure you have the appropriate clothing on for the time of year, our guide told us how people would turn up in highly inappropriate wear especially for the winter time trails! Luckily I didn't fall off my horse - if I had the snow would have been like a pillow to land on!!!!

Kaitalampi in Espoo is the perfect forest area and lake to escape the hustle and bustle of the capital area in Finland. Only about 35 minutes from Helsinki, Kaitalampi lake in Luukki recreation area provides nice trails and several cooking shelters for spending a day outdoors.
