Camping Ukonjärvi Lomakylä

Promo title

Mooie camping in het bos, aan het Ukomjärvi meer gelegen waar Nederlands wordt gesproken.

Camping Ukomjärven Lomakylä is a beautiful campsite in the forest, on Lake Ukonjärvi, with a very inviting reception and attractively furnished. The managers speak Dutch. This campground is definitely recommended in the Ivalo area. Ivalo is a village with a few hotels, shops, umbrellas, a hospital, an airport and petrol stations. Near the Ivalo river is the modern church of yellow stones, wood and glass with a roof like a jettison. Between Sodankylä and Ivalo the forests become somewhat rarer and the trees smaller. Everywhere on the road Lappentents with sheets and antlers. In Tankavaara is the information center of the National Park of Urho Kekkonen. It is named after the Finnish president. The park stretches over an area of ??approximately 2550 km² in the area that runs from Saariselkä (under this name the park is known) to the immense forests in the east where the Nuorttijoki river runs. Because of the vastness of the country belonging to the park, countless varieties of flora and fauna can be admired that make it an absolute unique experience. There are a few overnight places in the park. In Tankavaara you can become rich and enthusiastic by gold fever. On payment of the entrance ticket for the gold-mining area one can try to win a bit of gold from the sand of the river. A container at hand and a bit of luck is enough! Every year the annual gold digger competition is held and the winner is declared champion of the specialty. In the village the Golden World exhibition was opened in 1995, which depicts the history of gold mining in more than 20 countries around the world. The largest park in Lapland and Finland is Lemmenjoki Park; 2855 km² of wild sub-arctic conifer and birch forests, bare rounded hills, rivers and marshes. The main attraction consists of the valley of the river with the same name. Here too there is a visitor center for more information about the characteristics of the park.
