In English:
Day 9 (Saturday, September 07, 2013). Distance: 234km / 145.4mi. Temperature: morning 8.0ºC / 46.4ºF and evening 18ºC / 64.31F. Route: Muonio-Kittilä-Arctic Circle at Rovaniemi.
It was time to leave Muonio and drive to the South. We were pretty tired after yesterday’s hike, so we did not woke up at the same time when the rooster crows. I packed our things and carried them to our car while Anja made cleaning although the cleaning included to the price, but we did not want that after us rooms are not looking like “pigsties” after our visit!
Our first stop was at Molkoköngäs rapids. Molkoköngäs sounds horrible in my ears and he word Köngäs means a steep waterfall rapid, along which man cannot make white-water rafting using the row boat. Anyway it is nice place for a short stop by the Ounasjoki River. Molkoköngäs is popular fishing place among sport fishermen. After seeing the rapids of Molkoköngäs, we enjoyed our coffee and take a look at our two coffee tables, maybe unique. Lol.
From Molkoköngäs we drove direct to the Arctic Circle. We planned to spend one night there, before driving to our home. We spent one night at Santa Claus Holiday Village in a nice cottage. We have visited Arctic Circle at different seasons and now at fall. The place was quite quiet because it was the high season was over and the fall season was to come.
En español:
Día 9 (Sábado, 07 de septiembre 2013). Distancia: 234 kilometros / 145.4mi. Temperatura: Mañana 8.0 º C / 46.4 º C y por la noche de 18 º C / 64.31F. Ruta: Muonio-Kittilä-Círculo Polar Ártico en Rovaniemi.
Hoy fue el momento de dejar Muonio y conducir hacia el sur. Estábamos bastante cansados después de la caminata de ayer, así que no nos despertamos al mismo tiempo cuando el gallo cante. Empaquetaba nuestras cosas y las llevé a nuestro coche mientras Anja hizo limpieza aunque la limpieza fue incluida en el precio, pero no queriamos que después nos, habitaciones no parecen como ” porquerizas”!
Nuestra primera parada fue en los rápidos Molkoköngäs. Molkoköngäs suena horrible en mis oídos y la palbra Köngäs significa una cascada escarpada rápida, a lo largo de la cual no se puede hacer rafting con el bote de remos. De todos modos es un buen lugar para hacer una breve parada en el río de Ounasjoki. Molkoköngäs es un popular lugar de pesca entre los pescadores deportivos. Después de ver los rápidos del Molkoköngäs , disfrutamos de nuestro café y por favor echen un vistazo a nuestras dos mesas de café, tal vez son únicas. Lol.
Desde Molkoköngäs manejábamos directo al Círculo Polar Ártico. Teníamos la intencíon pasar una noche allí antes de conducir a nuestra casa. Pasábamos una noche en Santa Claus Holiday Village en una bonita casita de cabaña. Hemos visitado el Círculo Polar Ártico en muchas temporadas y ahora en otoño. El lugar estaba bastante tranquilo porque la temporada alta había terminado y la temporada de otoño estaba por venir.
En François:
Jour 9 (samedi, le 07 Septembre, 2013). Distance: 234 km / 145.4mi. Température: Le matin 8.0 º C / 46.4 º F et le soir 18 º C / 64.31F. Route: Muonio-Kittilä- Cercle Arctique à Rovaniemi.
Il était temps de quitter Muonio et conduire vers le Sud. Nous étions assez fatigués après la randonnée d’ hier, donc nous n’avons pas réveillés en même temps quand le coq chante. J’ai emballé nos affaires et les portais à notre bagnole pendant que Anja faisait le nettoyage malgré le nettoyage incluait dans le prix, mais nous ne voulions pas que, après nous chambres ne sont pas comme ” porcheries”!
Notre premier arrêt était à les rapides de molkoköngäs. Molkoköngäs sonne horrible à mes oreilles et le mot Köngäs signifie une chute abrupte rapide, le long de laquelle on ne peut pas faire du rafting en utilisant bateau d’aviron. Quoi qu’il en soit, il est un bel endroit pour un court arrêt par la rivière Ounasjoki. Molkoköngäs est un lieu de pêche populaire parmi les pêcheurs sportifs. Après d’avoir vu les rapides de Molkoköngäs, nous avons bu notre café et s’il vous plaît jetez un oeil à nos deux tables de café, peut-être uniques. Lol.
A partir de Molkoköngäs nous avons conduit directement au cercle arctique. Nous avions elaboré de passer une nuit là-bas, avant de conduire à notre maison. Nous avons passé une nuit à Santa Claus Holiday Village dans un joli chalet. Nous avons visité le cercle polaire arctiquede en de nombreuses saisons et maintenant à l’automne. L’endroit était très tranquille car la haute saison était terminée et la saison d’automne était à venir.
Em Português: :
Dia 9 (sábado, 7 de setembro, 2013). Distância: 234 km / 145.4mi. Temperatura: Manhã 8.0 º C / 46,4 º F e à noite 18 º C / 64.31F. Route: Muonio-Kittilä-Círculo Ártico e em Rovaniemi.
Era a hora de deixar o Muonio e dirigir para o sul. Estávamos muito cansados depois de caminhada de ontem, por isso, não despertávamos ao mesmo tempo em que o galo canta. Eu empacotava nossas coisas e levou-as para o nosso carro, enquanto Anja feita a limpeza, embora a limpeza incluídos no preço, mas no queríamos que, depois de nos, os quartos não são olhando como” o chiqueiro”!
Nossa primeira parada foi em corredeiras do Molkoköngäs. O Molkoköngäs soa horrível nos meus ouvidos e a palavra Köngäs significa uma cachoeira íngreme rápido, ao longo do qual o homem não pode fazer rafting usando o barco a remo. Enfim, é uma bom lugar para uma curta paragem pelo Rio Ounasjoki. O Molkoköngäs é um lugar de pesca popular entre os pescadores desportivos. Depois de ver as corredeiras do Molkoköngäs, nós tomávamos o nosso café e por favor deem uma olhada em nossas duas mesas de café, talvez únicos. Lol.
Do Molkoköngäs conduzíamos direto para o Círculo Polar Árctico. Nós temos planejado para passar uma noite lá, antes de dirigir a nossa casa. Passamos uma noite em Santa Claus Holiday Village, numa bela casa de campo. Nós temos visitado o Círculo Polar Árctico em diferentes estações do ano e agora no outono. O sítio foi bastante tranqüila, porque foi a alta temporada acabo e a temporada de outono estava por vir.

Hello Susanissima.
Thank You. Those log cabins were fully equipped including Sauna which is normal in Finland!
Have a nice day!

Alaska — I agree! hopefully not all the mosquitoes?
Comment by betunada — June 9, 2014 @ 17:03 |
Betunada, I Lapland there are also mosquitoes, but the amount varies. The autumn is the best time for a visit if we consider mosquitoes. During some cold nights they vanish “totally”. As You noticed when following this road trip, we had nothing to worry about them.

Sorry for the late comment although you commented on my page several times. How majestic and beautiful scene! This conifer forest similars to Hokkaido’s one. Buildings are also cute. I want to be there if possible!
Comment by superkamui — May 29, 2014 @ 10:09 |
Hello Superkamui.
Thank You for Your visit and comment. There are few places in Finland where I want to visit from time to time and among them is Arctic Circle which is just to the North of the town called Rovaniemi. It is at its best in winter. There is possibility to meet also Santa Claus.
すばらしい日を過してください。

I’m struck by how similar that area of Finland seems to our Alaska!
It must have been alot of fun staying in those log cabins, too. I loved how they denoted the arctic circle on the street, too! Definitely a picture worthy sight!
Comment by SmallHouseBigGarden — May 29, 2014 @ 16:13 |
Hello Karen.
Thank You for Your comment and comparison between two distant landscapes. The place is worth for a visit although it is a little bit commercialized.
Have nice day!

Santa claus holiday village…It looks so nice!
I thoght I’d liked to go there.

Hi Maatan.
You are welcome. Finnair has daily flights from Japan from Nagoya, Osaka and Tokyo. From Helsinki one hour flight to Rovaniemi and few minutes by bus or taxi to the Arctic Circle. On our flights there are also Japanese air hostesses! Also there are flights by JAL. Thank You for Your comment.
すばらしい日を過してください。
Comment by Sartenada — May 30, 2014 @ 07:49 |
You got some wonderful photos of the rapids — I like them very much. The Santa Claus Village looks like a wonderful place to stay, especially when it is not so crowded. I really like the building styles.
Comment by seniorhiker — May 29, 2014 @ 17:57 |
Hello George.
I am glad that You loved my photos from the rapids also. Thank You. In my next post You’ll see one of our famous rapids in Finland. All the post is devoted to it and thus it ends our road trip.

I’d like to drink coffee in beautiful nature like you both. The temperature in Tokyo is about 30ºC now. So we have to drink water to take care so as not to heat stroke.
I like the small and pretty coffee table.
I am happy to read your comment you put to my friend’s article, because you worked in Finnair before. I love Finnair, every things design are simple but lovery. I want to ride the Unikko airplane when to visit Finland again.
Kiitos 🙂
Comment by Misa — May 30, 2014 @ 18:23 |
Hi Misa.
Thank You for Your praising comment. You have there warm indeed. Now we have had cold season during some days, but before it had also 30ºC. The highest was 30.7ºC and in my home town in Mikkeli we had 29.9ºC. Although warm was good for people it is not for the nature, because it came too early. Always there will be cold after this kind of early heat wave and so it happened.
Now You know that You can visit in Naantali (Moomins) and many beautiful places outside Helsinki. We have excellent train and bus connections between towns. To reach for example the Arctic Circle night train is excellent choice instead of flight. Welcome someday and remember to tell to me.
良い 週末!

I understand high latitude to see these clothes in September. There is a day more than 35 degrees that Japan becomes hot year by year and is over in May. The Japanese Islands greet rainy season in June. I follow until the middle of July. Gloomy.

Hi Medaka4841.
I am very happy that You visited my blog and loved my photos. 35 degrees are “too” much for active outdoors life.

i suspect i sound like a “broken record” but much of the scenery makes me “pine” (so to speak) for my own state’s more elevated realms. (obviously, i’m “stuck” at the lower, more desert, areas). the axual arctic circle, eh? “how northerly”! (the furthest north i’ve been is about 55)
Comment by betunada — June 9, 2014 @ 17:06 |
Hello Betunada.
Thank You commenting. Well, the latitude 55 is in Europe equal to Glasgow, Scotland. From my perspective is in the South. 🙂
Have a great day!

Thanks for visiting Gwichyaa Zhee, Sartenada. The stream at Molkokongas is beautiful – the Yukon is very muddy by comparison. I enjoyed trying to identify the trees, too, since I am on the same latitude. I saw birch and at least one fir of some kind, I think. Our conifers are spruce, but I think yours are some kind of pine – am I right?
Comment by dave — November 15, 2016 @ 07:48 |
Hi Dave.
Thank You leaving Your kind comment. There were pines, spruces and birches. Birches are at this latitude dwarf birches. It is interesting to compare landscapes at same latitude.
Have a good day!

Merci.
Nous avions BMW 535d Touring xDrive. Quand nous avons déménagé, nous l’avons changé pour une BMW plus petite. C’est BMW 225xe active tourer. C’est aussi une bonne voiture pour de longues distances.

je souris car j’ai aussi une BMW active tourer depuis cette année car je fais 1200 km chaque moi pour aller voir mes petits-fils 🙂

Bonjour Maly.
Chapeau. Quelle surprise! Nous avons eu notre voiture en septembre de cette année. Nous avons notre appartement à Helsinki et notre petit appartement de vacances à Oulu. La distance entre ces deux villes est de 625 kilomètres. Cela signifie que lorsque nous retournons à la maison, nous devons parcourir 1250 kilomètres. Bien que, cette voiture soit plus petite que la précédente, elle est agréable de conduire.
Voici la plage en Oulu:
Plage arctique de Nallikari en été .
Plage arctique de Nallikari en hiver .
Nous visitons Oulu quelques fois dans une année en restant à chaque fois quelques semaines. Si vous voulez, je peux vous envoyer une photo de notre voiture.
Bonne journée. Matti

bonsoir Matti,
après une belle grande journée de travail, je regarde vos photos de Oulu et c’est tout à fait surprenant de voir la plage toute blanche de neige (en france, c’est trèèèès rare! lol) et c’est très beau tout ce blanc mais je préfère quand même la plage en été 😉
et oui, pour la voiture c’est une jolie surprise et je veux bien une photo car j’aimais bien aussi l’hybride 🙂
nous ne sommes pas encore à la retraite (mon mari et moi avons 59 ans et 38 ans de mariage 🙂 et nous avons besoin de deux voitures pour le travail 🙂
bonne nuit à vous deux

Me han encantado las fotos, el paisaje me parece completamente espectacular, a ver si me animo a pasar frío y conocer esa zona porque se ve preciosa:)

Gracias dejando tantos comentarios. Esta parte ártica de Finlandia se llama Laponia. ¡Cuando caminas por algunas colinas árticas, te encuentras con renos errantes! Ejemplo:

En invierno en el Círculo Polar Ártico ofrece estos:
Renos y santa claus
