Maijasenkylä Nature Trail

The Maijasenkylä Nature Trail is in Maijanen, a village by the Ounas River, 70.7 km north-west of Rovaniemi. It passes through a charming shoreline pine forest between Kittiläntie and the river.

It starts from the parking area as a forest path that joins a wider, gravel-based circular trail. The one-way length of the forest path is 120 m, and the circular trail is 730 m. It is open in the snow-free season, and it is suitable for day-trips.
