Bicycling and Meeting the bear in the evening!

The sandwiches be eaten by the fire before pedalling back to Rajamaa. Estimated time for the tour 3-4 hours. Dinner at the restaurant. After dinner we will go by mini-bus to Metelivaara and then walk a shorter walk to our wildwatching-hide. The hide has beds for resting and small windows for everyone. Some distance away we have put out food and during the night we hope to observe some of the exciting birds and animals of the Lapland forest. A very special experience. Back to Rajamaa for breakfast.

Ruokasali
All meals, if not eaten outside in the forest by a fire, will be enjoyed in our dining-room. The splendid view over the river will increase the appetite. All the food has been prepared in our kitchen from start, and the bread is also baked there. As much as possible we use Lapland produced, such as moose, pork and beef, and fish from mountain-lakes or the Arctic Sea. Blue-berries, cloud-berries and lingon-berries are picked in the forests around. Depending on season, vegetables are partly grown in our garden and partly from the region. Bon appetit!
