Rovaniemi: Auttiköngäs Waterfalls Hike Tour & Barbeque - Small Group

Auttiköngäs is one of Lapland’s hidden gems — a nature trail leading through old-growth forests, wooden bridges, and river valleys before reaching its crown jewel: the mighty Auttiköngäs waterfall, plunging 16 meters into the canyon below.
