A hidden treasure in Lapland

How would you feel if you would be taken to a remote place far from others and you would be able to breathe the completely pure air and swim in (practically) drinkable and completely clear water? Would you love to go to a sandy beach in that kind of place? In Finnish Lapland, near the Pallas Fells there’s a place called “the Red Sand”. It has got its name from the reddish color of the beach sand. Actually it’s not officially a beach, it’s a wilderness hut which is situated in a very special place. The Red Sands used to be a hidden treasure very recently but due to social media it has become more and more popular. That also causes some erosion at the very special place. So I make a kind request: please preserve the nature and take your own trash with you. The place is located by the lake Pallasjarvi in Kittila, Finland. Actually you can only go there by car and navigate there by putting “punainenhiekka” to your navigator. I promise you: it’s a remote place in the middle of nowhere. But going there on a midsummer night may surprise you positively - especially if the night is clear. There is also a wilderness hut (in pictures) where you can cook and the wood is provided for free. #pallastunturi #pallas #finland #lapland #kittila #muonio #pallasjarvi #hiking#naturalwonders#roadtrip#summervacation#beachvacation#urbanexplorer
