Spring at Kukkolaforsen

Admire the flooding river!

Spring at Kukkolaforsen

In spring, the ice begins to break on the Torne River and the current grows stronger day by day. Water rushes through Kukkolaforsen with increasing force, and visitors often come to watch the changing spring flood from the riverbank. As the season progresses, the landscape shifts and the rapids look different every day.

The restaurant is open during Easter and on weekends in May. Accommodation can be booked at any time.

Finnish Mother’s Day – 11 May
Swedish Mother’s Day – 31 May
