Kirkkopahta is a big stone in the forest. Acted as a sieidi it is a holy place for the Sami people. The Valkeajoki hut was used by timbers and is renovated into a museum. The hut has free entry and there is no staff present. Making a fire to the stove is forbidden. By the way, the spring behind the hut is radioactive.

Also known as Hell of Lapland. In the Sami mythology saivo is a lake that acts as a portal to another world and is therefore a holy place. Scientifically Pakasaivo is a meromictic lake; under the relatively thin surface layer the water becomes acidic and lacks oxygen. The exact depth of the lake is unknown but it is at least 60 meters deep. The nearly circular northern end is actually a huge giant's kettle. There is a parking lot with campfire site a few hundred metres from the lake, but the nearest bus stop is 13 km away. The road to the lake is not maintained in winter.
Another holy saivo lake. From the road 9403 (Aakenuksentie) there is a 3-km circular trail to the site. If you use your imagination a bit you can see a human face in the huge Seitapahta stone. By the lake there is a shelter and a campfire site.
An old mill by the rapids. The mill was used by locals until 1960s. The café is open during the summer season. A 3.5-km trail takes you to a human-faced sieidi stone by the lake. If you are heading to the trail, using wellies might be a good idea.
Considered one of the most scenic places in Finland. There is a parking lot by the road and a hiking trail to the top. Climbing the fell takes about an hour and you probably want to stay up there more than just one hour. At the top there is a maintained campfire site and a number of small ponds suitable for swimming.
Keimiönniemen kalakentät
Lake Jerisjärvi is famous for its fish, and Keimiöniemi has served as a fishermen's base at least since the 1500s. The oldest existing huts were built in the 1700s and they are still private property. The site is on the list of nationally significant built cultural environments.
