Brilliant place very well looked after and all the machinery is in lovely order. Congratulations to the owners you’re doing a great job. I love your collection of Ferguson 20s my favourite tractor. Also, I have never seen a Fordson major before . Visiting from Ireland x (I gave Money at the house however there is a postbox beside one of the buildings from donations)

A must see place in Övertorneå, cheap to get in. Hopefully they will open the doors 2021 again. The owners is a great person.

(Translated by Google) The museum was closed so I only saw it from the driveway and roadside. Too bad it was closed because it looks really cool. As cool as it gets with a real and big tractor museum. The tractor museum is outside Överkalix, 4-5 km. Probably not many people know about this tractor museum. (Original) Museet var stängt så jag såg det bara från bilvägen och vägkanten. Synd att det var stängt för det ser riktigt häftigt ut. Hur coolt som helst med ett riktigt och stort traktormuseum. Traktormuseet ligger utanför Överkalix, 4- 5 km. Det är nog inte så många som känner till detta traktormuseum.

(Translated by Google) You can't believe your eyes when you approach, a large yard filled with about 200 old tractors. Unbelievable. The most incredible thing is that Holger tells us that approximately 150 units can be started up. There is much else to look at in the museum, mopeds, motorbikes, bicycles, chainsaws and a lot of other stuff. Among other things, a whole room with old clocks of various models. We got a nice guide from Holger, thanks for that. This is a museum you can safely visit several times. (Original) Man tror inte sina ögonen när man närmar sig, ett stort gärde fyllt med gamla traktorer ca 200 st. Otroligt. Det mest otroliga är att Holger berättar att ungefär 150 st går att starta upp. Det finns mycket annat att titta på i museet, mopeder, mc, cyklar, motorsågar och en massa andra prylar. Bl a ett helt rum med gamla klockor av olika modeller. Vi fick en fin guidning av Holger, tack för det. Det här ett museum man med behållning kan besöka fler gånger.

As a moose lover, I was beyond excited to visit this place. It was simply fantastic to be able to see them up close! This is essentially impossible anywhere else. Even at a proper zoo/wildlife park, you aren't going to get this experience. I've actually been here twice now, so it's really worth a visit, in my opinion! The man is very friendly and it's so sweet to see his love for these animals. He also took us to see a nearby reindeer herd. You have to call in advance to announce your visit.
Maddy R — Google review
It was great to see these amazing animals up close! We fed them mushrooms and learned about them from the (very sweet and fun) owner. Delicious cake and coffee afterwards (50SEK). We were randomly driving by as we saw the sign. We called the number and we could come right away. We are so happy we saw your sign. Thank you!
Nathalie Q — Google review
Very nice owner and guide. We went around the farm that wasn't so big but see some moose up close, even the babies. It was all worth it to pay the entrance fee of 100 sek/person, considering the chance of seeing moose in the woods/road would be so low.
Churiel P — Google review
Great farm, nice host, you can feed the moose. Superb experience to all animal lovers! Recommend to stop by.
Tomas V — Google review
It was a huge honour to meet the mighty Moose Oskar and his companions and to hand them some carrot treats, getting to pat their noses simultaneously. Taking the reindeer for a little jog was just as delightful. My favourite part however was the story telling by the owner in his traditional attire. What a fascinating and wonderful culture!
Sara H — Google review
A lot of momentums and a baby with his mother at this moment. A little bit expensive for the time you spend. 150kr/adult and 100kr for a child. You have the possibility to feed them with some plants and they love it ! Have a look inside to read the different description about the momentums.

Great experience, lovely owners. Beautiful animals and they are so calm and sweet. Bring some carrots and bananas with you. They love it. Highly recommended. And: great coffee!

Only visited for the reindeer ride and my god am I happy I did!!! It was truly truly amazing and a once in a lifetime experience. Everything here is done with love and care. The guide knows the answer to all your questions, you sometimes might even get to ride your own cart and the forest and surroundings are like a movie. Would 500% go again!!
Marieke P — Google review
(Translated by Google) It was just great!! Staying in the woodcutter's hut was an experience in itself. We were there over New Year's Eve and agreed that it was the greatest New Year's Eve we have ever experienced. Dirk (the owner) exudes an uncanny calmness and has come up with a great program for his guests, where you always feel in good hands and are looked after. If you follow the packing list on the homepage, you are really well equipped. The very friendly team will help you with everything. The small sauna is an absolute highlight; we were able to shower in it every evening with water drawn from the fountain and then heated on the fire, which we hadn't expected at all. Overall, very very highly recommended, certainly not just on New Year's Eve. (Original) Es war einfach toll!! Schon die Unterbringung in der Holzfällerhütte war ein Erlebnis. Wir waren über Silvester dort und waren uns einig, dass es das tollste Silvester war, das wir je erlebt haben. Dirk (der Inhaber) strahlt eine unheimliche Gelassenheit aus und hat sich für seine Gäste ein tolles Programm ausgedacht, bei dem man sich immer gut aufgehoben fühlt und umsorgt wird. Wenn man die Packliste von der Homepage beachtet, ist man wirklich gut ausgerüstet. Das sehr freundliche Team hilft einem bei allem weiter. Die kleine Sauna ist ein absolutes Highlight, wir konnten uns darin jeden Abend mit dem vorher aus dem Brunnen geschöpften und dann auf dem Feuer erhitzten Wasser duschen, womit wir gar nicht gerechnet hatten. Insgesamt sehr sehr sehr empfehlenswert, sicherlich nicht nur an Silvester.

(Translated by Google) It has been almost 25 years since we, as three students, were guests for a week. With my little starlet from Kassel non-stop to Solberget. April. Last snow, lots of sun, cross-country skis and alone in nowhere. A visit to the Ice Hotel for one night and I'm still raving about it even after all this time.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful vacations we have ever taken! Incredible landscape, incredibly nice team, super delicious food and not to mention fetching water from the romantic spring, the reindeer sleigh rides, New Year's Eve, the ski or snowshoe tours and much, much more. We'll be back 😊 (Original) Einer der schönsten Urlaube, den wir je gemacht haben! Unfassbare Landschaft, wahnsinnig nettes Team, super leckeres Essen und von dem Wasser holen an der romantischen Quelle, den Rentierschlittenfahrten, dem Silvesterabend, den Ski- oder Schneeschuhtouren und vielem vielem mehr ganz zu schweigen. Wir kommen wieder 😊

Jukkasjärvi church, dating back to 1726 with some original parts from 1607, is a beautiful red-colored timber building with a stand-alone bell tower. It features a special timber construction that is the only one preserved in the country. The interior is adorned with unique colors typical of the Sami culture.
Nice small church with interesting painting . Perfect place to have your quiet time with your creator.

A beautiful church in Jukkasjarvi. This is the last stop on the Kiruna - Jukkasjarvi bus route, and an ideal starting point for your Jukkasjarvi exploration. Start at the church, walk down to the Sami Siida adjacent to the property, then walk down to the ice hotel, and take the bus back to kiruna.

Beautiful from the inside and the outside. The inside is very special, I have never seen a church like this before. The colours which are used for the furniture and pictures are the colours which are typical for the Sami.

Museums
Coffee shop
Nutti Sámi Siida offers an authentic Sami experience with traditional gahkku and reindeer served in a teepee-like lavvu tent. Visitors can learn about Sami culture through informative signs and guided tours, as well as the opportunity to feed friendly reindeer. The on-site restaurant serves local recipes in a cozy setting, while the museum showcases various aspects of Sami life.
We had a wonderful experience here, the outdoor museum was informative, the cafe served delicious food and some unique handmade crafts were available to purchase. The highlight for my daughter was feeding the reindeer, and the nature beauty of the location was hard to beat.
Steve R — Google review
I visited the museum in December. Since most of the exhibits were outdoors and it was cold, I went through it pretty quickly—about 30 minutes—because I couldn't stand in one spot for too long to read the information, even though it was quite interesting. The most memorable part was feeding the reindeer. The museum's restaurant had very cozy decor and friendly staff, but the portions were quite small for the price.
Lea S — Google review
An exciting museum that provides a good insight into the life of the Sami people. The opportunity to feed reindeer is great. Beforehand, there is a clear explanation of what to pay attention to when feeding them. The admission prices are rather expensive. Unfortunately, the film about the life of the Sami people was not showing. One hour is sufficient to view the entire facility and the exhibits.
Jacqueline G — Google review
We visited in winter, so there wasn't as much going on outside. There was a lot of learning to be had from the static displays of structures and how they were used, as well as signs that described most aspect of native life. Very interesting. The highlight for us was the reindeer exhibit where we were able to feed and pet reindeer. Beautiful creatures and very friendly.
Eric F — Google review
I failed to understand why the tickets are so expensive !!! - It is a small museum, and tries to explain everything in only a few artifacts and boards. I have visited much better museums(about Samis) at a lower cost. - While feeding the reindeer is a nice experience for kids, they charge SEK 50 for a pocket bag of lichen. - One of the rooms which probably has exhibits of daily products used by Samis was locked. - The film was a bit informative but still has a lot of scope for improvement. My suggestion is to save money, and invest it in other Sami museums.
Omkar J — Google review
Restaurant serving indigenous Dami dish. Outdoors museum exhibits the dwelling and storage structures of Sami peoples. There are many reindeers roaming around and you can pet it.
Somkietr R — Google review
an experience that can't be missed -- from feeding reindeers, to getting chased by them for not feeding them fast enough, to the history of the Sami through various depiction of life, this is a treat. must round it off with a delicious meal of salmon soup & succulent reindeer meat burger at their restaurant. make sure to check out their website for opening hours, especially during the Christmas period.
Indraneel B — Google review
A small outdoor museum with Reindeers! We got the snacks to feed the reindeers in their enclosure. It was up close and you can pet them as well. But they can get a little aggressive but the staff will give you advice before entering. Other locations to see how the Sami people live in the past. There is a small shop and a cafe with big fire place which was important for tourists in the winter.

ICEBAR offers a unique experience where drinks are served in glasses made of ice, adding a new dimension to the enjoyment. The bar's ice walls also provide exceptional audio qualities. While the prices for drinks may be relatively high, the atmosphere and the novelty of everything being made of ice compensate for it. Visitors can enjoy their drinks in sustainable ice glasses while taking in the great atmosphere and comfortable seating.

This has to be the coolest bar that I have ever been to. Great atmosphere and plenty of cool places to sit down. All drinks are served in ice glasses made of ice from the nearby Torne River, allowing the colour of the drink to be seen and yet knowing the glasses you hold are truly sustainable.
Samuel L — Google review
As part of our trip to Sweden we also visited the famous ICE BAR. It's really gorgeous in here. Really EVERYTHING is made of ice! The only thing that bothers me are the prices for the drinks. It is clear that alcohol is expensive in Scandinavia and that you have to dig a little deeper into your pocket at the Ice Bar. But I find about 12€ for a cocktail that has hardly any alcohol in it and also very small is already very much. But the atmosphere compensates that again - it's was really beautiful!

Angelo P — Google review
drink IN the rocks This became our regular spot to hang out while staying at the IceHotel, both for the iconic experience, but mostly for the welcoming kindness of it’s staff. Johannes was the bartender our first night - not only does he make a delicious cocktail called the “Fish,” but he offered to take us on a private tour of the then in construction Ice Hotel on his day off the following day (which was amazing). The bar tends to be a gathering point for the staff of the hotel and we got to get to know this international group of kind people late into the evening (complete with a game of ‘Name that song’). The chiseled ice-ware ensure a forever chilled drink and the warmth of your mouth and hands personalize it’s shape.

The original Icebar that uses blocks of clear ice, with drilled hole, as glas. Interesting cocktails and nicely decorated. Only dowside was to few places to sit and enjoy drinks since dbeverages only are sold to peoples that already have secured a place to sit, covid-19 requirement. Recommendation to management to add more iceblocks with rain deer skin since there is space.
