Auttiköngäs : info and guided tour

Introduction to Auttiköngäs

Auttiköngäs is located in the municipality of Rovaniemi, in Finnish Lapland, in the heart of a forested landscape shaped by water and rugged terrain. The site is known as a natural attraction and a viewpoint, in an area where the Auttijoki River has carved its way through the scenery.

The place belongs to a nature reserve valued for its wild setting and more uneven topography than the surrounding forests. Auttiköngäs is associated with a rocky gorge and open views over the valley, making it a notable spot to observe the local geography around Rovaniemi.

The address Auttikönkääntie 119 marks the access point to this nature area southeast of Rovaniemi. The site appeals for the combination of river, wooded slopes and rock formations, which create a landscape typical of Lapland nature, both peaceful and visually striking.

At Auttiköngäs, the interest comes as much from the terrain as from the atmosphere of a nature reserve. The site reveals the effects of water on rock and forest, in an environment where the viewpoint makes sense through the presence of the gorge, the watercourse and the tree-covered slopes.
