The Sotka springPhoto: NTRNZ - Harri Tarvainen, Salla - in the middle of nowhere
Enjoy natural drinking water available, straight from the spring, within arm's reach.
Admiring the beautiful spring... but of course you should also taste the fresh spring water!
The ecological status of 95% of the lakes and 94% of the rivers in Lapland is good or excellent. Deep in the Eastern Lapland wilderness, you can drink clean water straight from a stream or a spring. This is a perfect place to refill your waterbottle on one of the many hiking routes that pass by here.
You can watch the water come up from the ground, sit a while and watch the fun patterns emerge in the water!
These points are made in the Erämaan Elämysreitit - project to help you open enjoy the nature with all senses. This investment is supported by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development: Europe Investing in Rural Areas.

Free - Bring your own cup or drinking bottle!
