The Devil's Churn are about 25 km from Rovaniemi. There is no public transport to this place. It can be reached only by car. There are 14 mysterious potholes here. The potholes are known to have been created by swirling water of melting ice about 10000 years ago. Though there is a legend associated with it, according to which these potholes were made by a devil who use to live here. The place is also ideal for hiking and rock climbing. Although people do it at their own risk. There is no food or beverage available. If you plan to spend more time here remeber to bring suplies.See more..
5.0Isokuru(7 reviews) - Lovely.short hike from the hotel Spent More than 3 hours Nature & Wildlife Areas • Canyons • Geologic Formations
Happy go lucky short wandering. What a beautiful spot to see, must come back during summertime. Two fireplaces: a cottage and an open fire place. Stairs take down to the fell, but unfortunately were out of use during wintertime. See more..
4.0Karhunpesakivi(4 reviews) - Great place to stop and have excellent and reasonable priced lunch! Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent < 1 hour Geologic Formations
Absolutely great combination of sightseeing, souvenir shop and good restaurant. Parking area and services are just by the road (E75) half way between Ivalo and Inari. First you can take short stair trail (470 steps, 400m) to nice large stone cave covered empty by ice. At the bottom of stairs right by the parking place is located the gift shop and restaurant. Gift shop is large, nice and quite reasonable priced. The restaurant is excellent having very nice and helpful employees. Salomon soup, sautéed reindeer and grilled sandwich were our choices for our four person family. Portions were well sized, very tasty and priced as normal not with tourist extras :). I strongly recommend to visit at least for seeing the place and having cup of coffee!See more..
