View of the snowy forest near Oukun Kota

Highlight • Viewpoint

For all those who have seen the refuge on the map and thought to make their Finnish BBQ there ... not possible. The cabins 🛖 appear to be owned by Lapland Safaris. Both are locked. See pictures.

Highlight • Religious Site

This small church sits just outside the city centre. The architecture suggests it could be Orthodox.
