Go - Za

After breakfast I was flying around the area with drone (as I told before). This resort was just behind the local shop and also beside the Kemijoki -river.

After we started riding we met a pack of reindeers! They were standing in the middle of the bridge and it was almost impossible to pass them. I had to be very careful that I didn’t hit the white one! (This video I uploaded long time ago and it’s about the reindeers in our trip)

After reindeers there are few quite long straights…

We stopped for awhile in Sodankylä -maybe to enjoy ice cream because it was very hot again!
On the northside of Sodankylä there is two big reservoirs (Porttipahta & Lokka) and there is a river (Kitinen) that has 7 hydroelectric Power Plants! We checked one dam and power plant.

To ride a little bit side from the mainroad (Roadnumber 4 or E75) gives enough stimulation! Otherwise it would be very boring ride until you finally see the lakes (reservoirs). They are also connected to eachother with canal (Vuotson kanava) and there we stopped for a swim.


We also took the ride in the “unofficial” bridge over the Vuotso Canal. This is actually built for snowmobiles but in the summertime it is (kind of) ok to ride over with motorcycle -maximum weight is 1500kg’s!

We made a short stop in Tankavaara. It’s a gold village where they still do gold panning and sometimes someone finds gold…

Finally we arrived to our destination Saariselkä! Ofcourse we took a ride to the “mountaintop” of Kiilopää. From the top there is amazing views allaround Northern Lapland!

And there is also a restaurant called “The Top” (Huippu).

My wife made a video about this day, You can watch it here:

Route for the day 7 was like this:
