Our First Trip to Finnish Lapland
Our journey through the Finnish Lapland was highlighted by the magical red Aurora and the enchanting winter landscapes.
Arrival in Oulu
Our adventure began in the charming city of Oulu, where we spent two exciting days exploring the local culture and attending an unforgettable Soen concert at the Tullisali venue. It was a special night, especially for Anca and CÄtÄlin, who had the unique opportunity to capture the event up close with a photo pass.
Journey to the Arctic Circle
From Oulu, we embarked on a scenic drive to the Arctic Circle, filled with anticipation and a bit of concern about the overcast skies.
The landscapes of Finland, with their endless forests and frozen lakes, reminded us of the serene beauty of neighboring Sweden. We enjoyed seeing locals engage in various activities on the ice, from skating to ice fishing, adding a lively touch to the frozen scenery.
Our worries about missing the Northern Lights due to the cloudy weather soon vanished as the skies cleared, revealing a breathtaking display of the rare red Aurora.
Our journey concluded in the Rovaniemi area, a place that embodies the spirit of Lapland. Here, the magic of the Northern Lights danced across the sky, painting it with shades of red and green, a spectacular sight that was the perfect finale to our Finnish adventure.
Each location offered unique experiences, from serene natural beauty to thrilling winter activities.
