Me and wife drove some 45 minutes only to have a dinner at Kukkolaforsen and we sure had a superb meal to a very reasonable price! We decided on one of the menus - Kukkolaforsen, I believe - that started with a spectacular smoked tartar, followed by the (extremely!) local, traditional fish. Delicious crème brûlée for dessert! A stunning river view is a great bonus and so is the fact that you can buy the local fish, smoked at the premises, on your way from the restaurant. Higly recommended; we'll be back for sure.

Beautiful area, with open air museum buildings that display the life by the river since way back when.

This is a very special and beautiful location, right by the mighty Torne river that also is the national border between Sweden and Finland. Obviously, here the national border is only a line on the map; since olden times there are strong family bonds that bind together the two Nordic neighbors. The language on both sides of the river is also still a special variant of Finnish.

Pysähdyimme vain ruokaa varten. En ole varmaan koskaan syönyt näin hyvää kalaa!
