Kukkolaforsen Turist & Konferens

Kukkolaforsen Turist & Konferens is beautifully situated by the roaring Torne River in the Torne Valley. Here you will find a modern hotel, cottage apartments, cozy little cottages and over 80 camping sites for caravans, motorhomes and tents. The camping plots are between 80-100 square meters depending on where you choose to stand.

There is also an exclusive opportunity to book a camping plot that has its own sauna and barbecue hut.

The service house in the area has access to toilets, showers and a sauna. Of course, there is also a kitchen with cooking and dishwashing facilities. All this is of course included during your stay.

Kukkolaforsen Turist & Konferens offers many unique activities. Here you can try white water rafting, sauna bathing in Sweden's only sauna village, snowmobile safari, whitefish cutting. The genuine environment with halibut sheds, fishing museum, fishing sheds and water-powered mills around the area is really a cool experience. Hook-and-line fishing is carried out using ancient methods and is also worth trying.

The on-site restaurant has a fantastic view of the rapids and neighboring Finland. It offers food and experiences suitable for all occasions. Everything is then prepared so that the Tornedalian flavors come to their full advantage. Of course, the restaurant has full rights. The restaurant is very popular and gets booked up quickly during the high season. We therefore recommend you to be out in good time when you book. This applies to both lunch and dinner.

In the area around Kukkolaforsen Cultural Village there are many places to visit. A sawmill, an old miller's residence and two water-powered mills are just some of the different buildings you can visit in their natural environment. During the summer, the old machines start up so you can see for yourself how it was in the past. Another thing that is very popular to visit is the fishing museum where you can learn about the fishing culture and all the species of the Torne River.

In the surrounding area you will find nice jogging trails and hiking trails that during the winter are transformed into wonderful ski trails. As if that were not enough, there is also a world heritage site here. Between 1816-1855, Wilhelm von Struve took measurements to show that the latitudes are longer in Scandinavia than at the equator. With this discovery, Struve proved that the Earth is not spherical but oval. The World Heritage Site is about 7 km from the facility.

Other sights worth visiting are Elmer's farm, Karungi village, Taavola farm, Tervajänkke, Karsikojärvi swimming area, Pitkäjärvi bird tower, Saivara stone age village, Leipijärvi swimming area and Myllyjärvi barbecue area.

Haparanda city is also a drive away and obviously something you should not miss. Haparanda is Sweden's easternmost urban area. The city is located right next to the national border with our dear neighbor Finland and borders directly with the Finnish city of Tornio, also a city that offers lots of exciting opportunities.

Kukkolaforsen Tourist & Conference is open all year round. Full service is from the beginning of June to the end of August. During the high season, the reception is also open from morning to evening. The facility is adapted for the disabled. Dogs are welcome. Access to Wi-Fi is available.

There are also good conference facilities here. If you have further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact the facility directly.

We wish you a warm welcome to Kukkolaforsen Turist & Konferens!
