Aakenustunturi
A hill in the southeastern part of Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, where the wreckage of a German Ju 52 transport plane from the Second World War can still be found on the slopes.
Aakenustunturi lies between Levi and Ylläs and is part of Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park. Hiking trails cross pine forest and tundra. Scattered across the slopes are the remains of a German Ju 52 transport aircraft that crashed during the Second World War, a historical site that hikers enjoy visiting. Starting from a car park on the Kaukonen–Äkäslompolo road, the round trip takes about half a day. There are no supplies in the fell area, so bring your own water and a map.
