Lumberjack's Candle Bridge, Lapland, Finland
4.0 (179 reviews) Spent < 1 hour Ranking #2 in Rovaniemi Bridges
The landmark of Rovaniemi
This impressive bridge crossing the Kemijoki river was built in 1989. It is Finland’s first cable-stayed bridge, finished in 1989. It has a tension span of 126 meters. In addition to its importance for traffic, the bridge bears a memory from the times of timber floating and is an homage to the lumberjack. On the top of two columns are two red lights resembling the lumberjack’s candle, a log cut in two with a fire in between.

It's a bridge, in Rovaniemi
We visited the city centre from the Santa Claus Village to pick up some winter clothes that we were renting, so we decided to spend the morning in Rovaniemi. There really isn't much to do here but visit the Arkitrum museum and take in the views of the Lumberjack Candle Bridge. Is it good? Sure. It's an impressive bridge, and it's worth a photo. I'm not sure what else to tell you about it.

Watching the new yearvfireworks
We went to this bridge to celebrate new year as recommended by someone we met in the city. First we walk across the bridge to the other side of the river. Then we walk back to find a good position on the bridge to see the fireworks. Many people standing along the bridge. The fireworks was clearly visible from here.
