Z Lannavaara jedeme několik set let starou „tabákovou stezkou“, kterou Laponci dováželi tabák a jiné spotřební zboží v době, kdy měli pouze lyže a koně. Tudy pojedeme přímo na letiště, kde váš výlet končí.
From Lannavaara we drive along the several-hundred years old "tobacco trail", which the Lapps used to import tobacco and other consumer goods at a time when they only had skis and horses. Through here we will go directly to the airport, where your trip ends.
