Äkäsaivo Lake and Seitapahta Sieidi

Äkäsaivo is a quiet saivo lake reached by a short circular trail from Aakenuksentie. The place has Sami sacred associations, and the great Seitapahta stone beside the lake is the feature to look for.

The walk is only about 3 km, but it feels properly northern: forest, still water, rock and silence. There is a shelter and a campfire site by the lake.
