neighbours in the east. Today, the border is one of the friendliest
in the world, but it hasn’t always been that way. The stories about
the dramatic history of Torne Valley are many.
Take a detour across the mountains to Överkalix in the next
river valley. Listen to the earthy dialect of Överkalix, its very own
and important part of the area’s identity. And don’t miss the coast
with its shallow seaside swimming and fantastic archipelago.
Take a boat trip out among the islands or drive your car to the
beautiful Seskarö.
Oh, and don’t forget to taste your way along your journey:
smoked or grilled freshly caught fish, freshly baked round
flatbread and Finnish rye bread with melted butter, the excellent
Kalix bleak roe with its protected designation of origin, dunking
in a cup, game and berries. Raw produce offered by nature
without additives.
As the icing on the cake, we can reveal that the region is one
of the sunniest in Sweden with an impressive number of sunshine
hours every summer, and not uncommonly temperatures among
the highest in Sweden. Welcome to an enriching journey of
discovery this summer.
Kalix is beautifully situated where the impressive and pristine Kalix
River flows into the Gulf of Bothnia. The waters around Kalix are
hiding fabulous riches. There are a lot of wild salmon and you’ve
probably heard of, perhaps even eaten the gold of the sea – Kalix
bleak roe (Kalixlöjrom). Kalix bleak roe is unique and is therefore
origin protected under the European Union standard. The proximity
to the East has characterized Kalix and the old wars against Russia
have left their mark. In the area there are graves of Russian soldiers
who perished on Swedish soil. And according to legend, there should
be spoils of Russian gold buried in the woods north of Pålänge. Today
it still attracts people into the forest to dig for gold. In Kalix, you don’t
need to choose between coastal or river – here you’ll find both of
them. Let yourself be surprised by the adventure and tranquility in an
environment where the guests are always at the center.

TORNE & KALIX NATIONAL RIVER VALLEYS
Welcome to the road north along the national rivers in eastern
Swedish Lapland: Kalix River and Torne River. We want to show
you the region’s best fishing places, shallow swimming bays and
barbecue areas with views over smooth open waters and blue
forest-covered hills. The water, with wild rivers, the sea and big
lakes, tells the story of eastern Swedish Lapland. Here, the biggest
attractions are created by nature itself. And in the summer, when
the midnight sun lavishes its light round the clock, you have
even more time and energy to fill your days with memorable
experiences. There is rich culture with living minority languages,
Finnish, Meänkieli and Sami alongside Swedish.
The five main towns of Kalix, Haparanda, Övertorneå,
Överkalix and Pajala are located at convenient distances apart.
This means that you don’t have to choose – you can explore the
whole region when you are here on holiday. Follow the Torne
River along the border to Finland (yes, it is a different country
on the other side of the river, so close!) and be fascinated by the
exciting history and culture, closely interwoven with our good

THE ARCHIPELAGO
One of the most beautiful islands is Malören. The horseshoe-shaped island is approximately three kilometers long. The island’s heyday was during the second half
of the 18th century, when the herring fishery was extra good. On Malören you will
find the extraordinary and most beautiful chapel. It is usually termed as the “small
archipelago cathedral”, as it is the only sea church that has a spire on the roof. The
building is octagonal with a wooden roof, a church type that was popular around
the Gulf of Bothnia in the 18th century. The Church was, before there was a lighthouse on the island, used as a landmark. The Chapel is timbered and inaugurated
in 1770.

The border towns of Haparanda in Sweden and Torne in Finland have
today grown into one single unit – HaparandaTorne. Visiting this area
means twice the range of goods, culture, entertainment, education,
and more. Since IKEA and several other large chain stores have
chosen to establish here, HaparandaTorne has evolved into a vibrant
commercial center, visited by millions of people annually. Other small
shops as Butiken på Landet, Taavolagården, Udda med Flit and Pesula
Gårdsbutik are well worth a visit. There is also a Swedish-Finnish
border culture, developed through centuries with sauna, fishing
traditions, smuggling and multilingualism. This border region has also
been witness of wars and many other dramatic events through the
years. Traces of history can still be seen, like the Orthodox Church,
trading houses, museums and a manifold of monuments. The border
itself has a special magic. As with the Swedish and Finnish time zones:
on the local golf course, you can hit a ball over the border – and it will
land an hour earlier because of the time difference.
There are also great opportunities for recreation outside the
city centers. You can find peace and tranquility in the beautiful
Torne Valley, full of traditional culture, or enjoy nature in the unique
Archipelago. Stop a day or two and explore the new meeting place
in the north.
KALIX CHURCH
The church that is situated in central Kalix, on the seaside of Kalix River, was built
in the 15th century. In 1595 the church caught fire and only the baptismal font and
some other things could be saved. In 1716 the Russians plundered the church and
during the war in 1809 the Russians used the main building as a stable.
KALIX A BOMBPROOF PLACE TO VISIT
Forty metres down in Hörmyr hill on Siknäs peninsula there is a top-secret, underground fort, built to defend Töre harbour. Stay overnight in the fort in an unusual
setting, to say the least! The facility provides a fantastic experience with its unique
settings and stories about the everyday life and building of the secret invasion
defence. The museum rooms have exhibitions about the military and the civilian
population from the time of the Cold War. Activities for the whole family.

Heart of Lapland is a Mecca for anglers, with its countless lakes, wild
rivers and beautiful archipelagos. There is fishing for everyone here,
young and old, beginners and enthusiasts.
If you would like to discover your favourite places on your own, the
possibilities are endless, and those who prefer fishing camps with
guides and courses will find many nice places in much of the region.
Here you can catch the fish of your dreams and get experiences
for a lifetime. In recent years, our rivers have seen very positive
development. They are now among the best salmon rivers in the
world, and every year more salmon are caught weighing in at over
the magical 40 lb.
So, whether you like to angle, fish from a boat, spin or fly-fish, there
is something for everyone.

KUKKOLAFORSEN – KUKKOLA RAPIDS
The rapid is the biggest one in the Torne River, the length is 3500 meter and fall
height 13,8 meter. The rapid is located 15 km north of HaparandaTorne. The fishing
villages by the river were separated in 1809 when Torne River became the border
between Sweden and Finland. Both old fishing villages are worth seeing in every
season. Great attraction is to watch the locals catching whitefish. You can try river
rafting on both sides of the river. Around Kukkolaforsen there is also a fishing museum, old mills, sawmill, a restaurant and a hut for grilling whitefish.
FISHING MUSEUM
The fishing museum in Kukkola can tell you the story about the salmon runs, whitefish spawning and how the long, narrow boats were traveling. Torne River have since
ancient times been the major driving route in the Arctic.

PAJALA
Pajala is molded by a century-long clash and melting pot between
Finnish, Swedish and Sámi traditions. The Torne River Valley heritage
and identity is deeply rooted in these three cultures, so far as
becoming the home of a minority language of its own – Meänkieli. Not
to mention the food! The local food traditions, dating back hundreds
of years, offer many joyful surprises. Such as Kaffeost, cheese you
eat with or in your coffee, and more. Summer in Pajala is something
special – fishing, canoeing or rafting trips on any of the five pristine
rivers, the cloudberries on the wetlands, elk hunting and berry picking.
Enjoy our nature, culture and see our handicrafts traditions. Let the
adventure take you away, listen to the silence and you will understand
our pride in our home region.
With good neighbors such as Finland and the Arctic Circle, Övertorneå has something to say about friendship – and making the most
of borders. All friendships begin in the sauna, as we all know, and
here’s plenty of it to go around. Try a traditional sauna, smoke sauna
and why not a sauna raft along the Torne River? History, the nearness
to Finland and the pure nature gives Övertorneå a special kind of
character.

The Arctic Circle is the outermost circle of latitude counted from the North Pole at
which the sun does not set at the summer solstice. This phenomenon is called the
midnight sun, the polar day or the polar summer. It is also the outermost line, counted from the North Pole that joins the points at which the sun does not rise above the
horizon at the winter solstice. This phenomenon is called the polar night, midday
darkness or midwinter dark. The polar day begins around March 21st, at the vernal
equinox at culminates around June 21st. The polar night begins around September
23rd, at the autumnal equinox, and culminates around December 21st. Take a
coffee break in the middle of the Arctic Circle in the Arctic Circle village Juoksengi.

VASIKKAVUOMA NATURE RESERVE
Vasikkavuoma is one of Northern Europe’s largest haymaking bogs. The surface
is approximately 250 hectares and in the old days there were about 350 barns.
Currently there are 70 barns left. The open bog landscape provides a rich bird and
plant life. In total there are 50 different plant species growing on the bog creating a
“plant society” typical for a rich haymaking bog that is becoming increasingly rare.
Among others there are several orchid species growing in the bog. In spring a large
number of migrating birds come here to rest during their flight to their breeding
grounds in the north.
This charming little town, nestled in the woodlands by the Arctic
Circle, has many stories to tell. Fishing stories, that is. Some of
Sweden’s best fishing spots are to be found here along with beautiful
scenery, mighty waterfalls, rapids, and a very charming city center.
Bring your fishing rod – and camera, here’s a lot to catch your eye.
LAESTADIUSPÖRTET – LAESTADIUS MUSEUM
www.overkalixinswedishlapland.com
Laestadiuspörtet is a museum where you can get a glimpse of how Lars Levi Laestadius everyday life looked like and how people lived north of the Arctic Circle in
the mid 1800s. Laestadius was a Swedish Sámi pastor that founded the Laestadian
pietist revival movement to help his largely Sámi congregations who were being
ravaged by alcoholism. Laestadius’ movement eventually led to a revival in both in
Northern Sweden, Finland, Norway and North America in the 1840s. Laestadius
himself was a sobriety advocate as well as a botanist but he also devoted himself
to things such as zoology, meteorology, linguistics and ethnology. Laestadiuspörtet
actually consists of two different buildings. One part of the cabin was moved to
Pajala from the former church site in Kengis in the 1850s. Laestadius lived there
from 1849 until his death in 1861, only 61 years old. Today the museum boasts an
exciting exhibition that reflects Laestadius personality and lifework, which left its
mark on the entire Arctic region and elsewhere in the world. The museum is open
during summer, there is also a café onsite.

LUPPIOBERGET – MOUNT LUPPIO
Luppioberget is located 192 meters above sea level. The mountain’s special terrace
formations have always surprised and inspired awe in those who see them. One
could imagine that an architect had designed this granite mountain, but the truth
is that it was the glaciers of the ice age that blessed it with all the ingredients for
an adventurous excursion. The mountain’s caves add some truth to the legend that
Luppioberget is Santa’s original residence. They also say that a mountain troll lives
up there. In addition to this, the magnificent view and the chance to experience the
midnight sun at summertime makes the mountain a given attraction for the entire
family. The new restaurant Utblick opened in the summer of 2014 in a building
designed by architect Mats Winsa.
STRUVE GEODETIC ARC
Astronomer Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve’s ideas about the earth’s shape and
size resulted in a huge arc measurement expedition. The purpose was to prove that
the earth is flattened at the poles. The expedition was named “The Struve Geodetic
Arc” and is regarded as one of the most significant technical and scientific achievements of its day. The Struve Geodetic Arc, a chain of survey triangulations that follow the 26-degree east longitude meridian, was measured from 1816 to 1855 and
stretches 2,820 kilometers from the Arctic Ocean to the Black Sea. In 2005, the
Struve Geodetic Arc was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The official geodetic arc consists of 34 measuring points. Four of them are in Sweden and one of
them is on Mount Pullinki in Övertorneå municipality, Svanstein. The other three is in
Tynnyrilaki in Kiruna, Jupukka in Pajala and Perävaara in Haparanda municipalities.
CULTURE RESERVE HANHIVITTIKKO SUMMER PASTURE
Hanhivittikko is the epitome of an idyll. Small red-painted chalets in a dazzling
summer sanctuary. The glade is inviting and makes you want to stay a while to
allow your eyes and spirit to experience the peacefulness. Today the Hanhivittikko
Summer Pasture culture reserve is one of a kind. The meadowlands and pasture are
among the most valuable in Lapland. There is a variety of species seldom seen in
summer pastures, and among the plants there is a number of endangered species.
Hanhivittikko Friends runs Hanhivittikko Summer Pasture and you could also meet

BRÄNNABERGET – BRÄNNA MOUNTAIN VIEWPOINT
Brännaberget is a local viewpoint, which offers a fantastic view. From here you can
see the untouched Kalix River Basin and the town of Överkalix. During the summer
when the midnight sun reflects on the river, it is an especially incredible sight.
LOVIKKA MITTEN
JOCKFALL
The story of Erika Aittamaa reflects a
bygone time when her children were
growing in number and social services
were poor. Knitting became a way to
earn money. An order came in for really
thick, durable mittens. Erika spun thick
yarn and knitted two pairs of hefty mittens. The person placing the order was
not pleased, maintaining that the wool
had been destroyed. New attempts
were made, and the wool was washed
several times and carefully carded.
The result turned out to be fantastic,
and people soon began asking for the
mittens. The year was 1892, and the
classic Lovikka mitten had seen the
light of day. You can see the world’s
largest Lovikka mitten in the village of
Lovikka in Pajala.
Jockfall, one of the best fishing spots in Sweden is north of the Arctic Circle. Jockfallet, a waterfall by the rushing Kalix River is 9 meters high. In the salmon stairs you
can watch the big playful salmon swimming upstream. Somewhere the big salmon is
lurking, a 20-kilo challenge for the true fishing enthusiasts.

This area in Swedish Lapland has six fast-flowing rivers, 400–600 km long and
about 2,500 forest and mountain lakes, all within easy reach of each other. The
Lainio wilderness river is the best known, mainly because of its fantastic salmon
fishing, but also for its trout and grayling. Downstream from the village of Lainio
the river changes its character and forms a canyon with vertical cliffs on each side.
Anglers can land from a boat in certain places and experience some exciting fishing
for trout or grayling. This area also has the best salmon pools for both spinning and
fly-fishing. The quality of the fishing can vary so it is advisable to check locally in advance. Naturally the exciting fishing in the forest and mountain lakes also attracts

Haparanda archipelago has more than 650 islands and they are famous for
sandy beaches and trees. The archipelago is an exotic, low-lying archipelago in
the northernmost reach of the Baltic Sea, near the border with Finland. The low
and wind-whipped pine forest, sandy beaches, dunes and heaths give the park an
unusual and interesting character. The archipelago islands, of which in Haparanda
Sandskär is the largest, have been formed by the interaction of wind, waves and
rising land mass. The Archipelago provides habitats for rare plants and insects, and
a resting place for migrating birds. At Kumpula on Sandskär there are fishing sheds,
information facilities and a harbor.
