Järvinen’s ancient pine forest (Järvisen aihkikko) is located northeast of Rovaniemi, on the north side of Highway 82 between Rovaniemi and Kemijärvi. The distance is about 45 km from Rovaniemi and about 55 km from Kemijärvi.

• From Highway 82, turn at Raanselkä (south of the forest) onto a gravel road and drive about 5.5 km. Then turn right onto a road that passes through the forest and continue for about 1.5 km until you reach Marasenlampi pond.
• In winter, the gravel roads are not always ploughed, which may prevent access to the area.
• The road via Hautainmaa (east of the forest) is occasionally in poor condition and is not recommended.
• Along the road through the forest, near Marasenlampi, there are a few roadside clearings where you can park your car.
