Apukka Gold Rush
“There’s gold in them fells!” was a shout heard all over Finland in the 19th century. Adventurers of all stripes traveled hundreds of kilometers by ski, foot, or boat to the gold prospecting area for a chance to discover riches. Now you can take a trip back in time and visit a recreation of such a site. You’ll explore a gold prospector’s cabin, and our guide will teach you the proper technique of panning for gold. Will you find any? All the gold you discover is yours to keep! Finally, we end the experience by enjoying a drink and a snack. Will you answer the call of adventure?
