Wild Camping
Thanks to the freedom to roam in both Sweden and Finland. We have the right to perform outdoor activities as long as we don’t harm the environment or disturb others by camping close to a private home. You might not be able to make an open fire without permission if it’s on a private property. Also bear in mind that, you can’t pitch your tent wherever you want. Take Haparanda Archipelago National Park for example, you can pitch a tent and make fires ONLY in designated spots. You are free to pick berries or fish there if you’d like though. Plus we have many lakes in Haparanda and Tornio. Come here on a hiking trip and camp in the middle of the forest for free this summer!

Härbret used to be the wooden storage barn for barley right next to the Torne River. Today it’s converted into a two story house where the bedroom is on the top floor with a great view of the river. Kalles Hus and Ester Hus are much more spacious, they would be perfect for you if you come with a big group of friends or with your family.

At Nivagården, we recommend you rent a SUP and paddle in the river, guests also have access to a sauna and plunge pool with different prices.
