Tervola Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
municipality in the region of Lapland in Finland
About Tervola
Tervola belongs to the "Sea Lapland" and is culturally more bound to theKemiarea in south-west than to the rest of the Lapland. Highway E75 runs through the municipality following the west bank of the river Kemijoki but the parish village is at the east bank. Most people ever "visiting" Tervola just drive through it. They will see the municipality just as a mixture of fields, river views, and gas stations. Like elsewhere in south-west Lapland, the landscape in Tervola is fairly flat and dominated by Kemijoki river, fields, mires, and bogs. In north-east there are some tall hills with notable prominence. Some 8,000 years ago the hills Törmävaara, Vammavaara, Kätkävaara, and Pisavaara were solitary islands far out in the northern Ancylus Lake. The ancient shorelines are still visible on them
