BIRDWATCHING

This area gives great opportunities for naturelovers. Old paths and small roads wind through the forest and along rivers. From the hills You have breath-taking views of the wilderness. Birds, flowers, animals, the whole nature is significant for Lapland. Many northern species are only found here, in what is known as the westernmost part of the enormous Taiga.
When the sun returns to Lapland, after the long winter, nature starts to wake up. As the days gets longer and the night disappears for some intense months, the migrating birds return to the North. Beginning in March the first ones arrive. During the sunny days and long light nights in April, as the ice on the streams starts to open, the pools are full of birds waiting to get further. In May, as the snow melts rapidly, the river valley is full of our flying friends from far away, heading for their homes in the woodlands, on the mountains and tundra or in the wetlands.Now the sun does not set any more.The short but beautiful summer of Lapland begins.
