HANHIVITTIKKO FÄBOD<br />
Small, red painted cottages surrounded by summer meadows shine like<br />
jewels in forest clearings. Accordion music, craft events and other fun activities<br />
for the whole family are organised here. Mountain pasture farmers,<br />
mountain cows, sheep and hens contribute to the experience. You can<br />
hire traditional mountain pasture cottages.<br />
JOCKFALL<br />
Here you can also watch as the salmon leap up the fish ladders and anglers stand<br />
along the banks <strong>of</strong> the Kalix river in the hope <strong>of</strong> making a prize catch. Guide and fly<br />
fishing instructor Ronny Ladin will happily help you to improve your technique. And if<br />
you start to feel peckish, visit the restaurant and try out a ”jockfallare” – a burger made<br />
with salmon and potato.<br />
