Jätkänkynttilä Bridge

Jätkänkynttilä Bridge spans the Kemijoki River in Rovaniemi, linking the city center with the Ounasvaara area. Opened in 1989, its distinctive “lumberjack’s candle” pylons, illuminated at night, are a local landmark and a symbol of the city. Visitors come for waterfront views, especially at sunset or during winter when ice and snow transform the scene. The riverside paths make it easy to combine a photo stop with a stroll or bike ride, and it’s close to restaurants and accommodations. Worth a visit if you enjoy modern Nordic design and scenic urban landscapes.
