Very nice rapids in Pite river. There is a boardwalk along parts of it so you get good views. Now in the winter the water has sub-zero temperature and this makes the ice being built up from below. This can cause floods and recently there was a threat to the hotel at the bottom of the rapids.

Very nice natural reserve where the main attraction is the rapids in the Pite river. You can also walk on trails and bridges a little away from the river itself. There are several prepared bbq sites. There is also a café also serving light meals open in the summer and a shop with local handicraft open the year around. You can also visit a museum show how timber was transported down the river and all its rapids from the middle of the 18 hundreds.

6. Gammelstad Church Town
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 413 reviews
Of Sweden's 71 original church towns, only 16 are left today. The majority of these have been reduced to a remnant. Gammelstad has the country's largest and best preserved church town with 408 cottages comprising 553 rooms. The church town presumably arose from a combination of several factors: the long distances, merchants' needs for storage and accommodation at the marketplace, the church stables and last but not least the population's duty to attend church regularly. Gammelstad Church Town was put on the UNESCO World Heritage List on 7 December, 1996. Visit Gammelstad Visitor Center for more information. Visitor Center offers information, exhibition, slideshow room, souvenirshop, audioguides and guided tours of Gammelstad Church Town.

When a very long river as the Tornea goes to the Botnian gulf, then you have some very steep jumps in various localtion. Kukkolaforsen is the most interesting one: amazing fishing spot and hiking place. Suggestion: go for it from the Swedish side as it is more spectacular.

Muttos is the land of vast mires and deep old-growth forests. It is known for its waterfalls, deep ravines, low mountains and forests where the trees have seen many generations of people pass by. In the Muddus/Muttos national park there is a summer trail system approximately 50 km long. In wintertime there are no marked trails, but the iced-over wetlands and snowclad forests attract many skiers who ski between the cabins that are open in winter. For you who bring a tent there are good tent pitches all over the area. Not far from Muddusagahtjaldak, the waterfall cabin, there is a prepared tent site with toilet and woodshed. There are also several picnic sites along the trail with a supply of firewood, toilet and fireplaces.
