Kieringinloma is an award preserving village, located approximately 100 kilometers north from Rovaniemi. Kierinki is one of the only villages that was not burned down during the war in 1940, as it was saved by three young boys while other inhabitants fled to Sweden. On October 11th 2018 we visited this impressive village, to visit Kieringinloma, or in English, Kierinki Holiday Village. Kierinki Holiday Village offers visitors of Kierinki accommodation in hotel rooms and holiday apartments, but also offers tents and caravan spots. The hotel rooms and holiday apartments are well-decorated, and look quite cozy. You feel at home immediately.
Furthermore, the village has a restaurant. One of the dishes served at the restaurant is Kierinki Highland meat. Parties and weddings can be hosted there as well. Alongside the restaurant, “World’s Smallest Pub” can be found, which is definitely worth a visit. The village has its own grocery shop and gas station as well. This is necessary, as it is located in, practically, the middle of nowhere. Which is a positive thing, as the environment is stunning.
During the company visit it was clearly visible that the owners run Kieringinloma with love and passion. This could immediately be felt upon arrival, as we were welcomed by the owner herself. Since Kieringinloma is one of the few places where one is still able to experience traditional Lappish culture, it’s a unique company. Therefore it is definitely recommended to visit this village for everyone visiting Lapland. A husky farm and a reindeer farm can be found not far away from the village. This gives one the opportunity to get a full Lappish experience.
