100 Years As A Summer Pasture
Hanhivittikko summer pasture dates back to the 1860s and was in use until summer 1965. The summer pasture included a 35-hectare area of common land, which was owned jointly by the villages of Haapakylä and Matarengi - the latter now called Övertorneå. The buildings at the summer pasture, on the other hand, were owned by different families. On a map from 1875, 11 buildings can be seen - today there are eight left, one of which has been reconstructed. Originally there were four summer pastures at Hanhinvittikko: Antti´s, Lantto´s, Mörtberg´s and Tornéus/Mörtberg´s. Today all that remains of Antti´s and Lantto´s is the foundations, but the other buildings have been preserved and restored.
