Suoltijoen Pirtti
Soultijoki's Lumberjack Base
Why locals love it
The Suoltijoki pirtti is an impressive monument of large post-World War II savosts in a barren small river valley surrounded by fells and hills. The building stock characteristic of Lapland's forest areas and river valleys is the Lumberjack Era bases and other structures. Swimming became more common in the 1890s and continued in Kemijoki until 1991
Why you should visit it
Savottakartano is a two-storey crew building with a 1-storey canteen-staff building, a shop and warehouse building and a toilet. All buildings have seam-like, unpainted facades. The stamping cabin belonging to the ensemble has also been preserved.
