caption_attribution_description: English: The Rautas River. The picture was taken north of Báhpagobba. From Karhuniemi, just west of Kiruna, a footpath leads north via Báhpagobba and Kurravaaranjänkkä and ends at the Rautas River between Käyrävuopio and Hansisaari (near Kurravaara). The picture was taken in late spring. Nederlands: De Rautas rivier. De foto is ten noorden van Báhpagobba genomen. Vanuit Karhuniemi, even ten westen van Kiruna, gaat een wandelpad naar het noorden via Báhpagobba en Kurravaaranjänkkä. Het eindigt bij de Rautas rivier tussen Käyrävuopio en Hansisaari (bij Kurravaara). De foto is genomen in de late lente / vroege zomer.
context_page_description: The Rautas River is an early contributary to the Torne River in Swedish Lapland.
  It originates in Rautasjaure in the mountains of northwestern Lapland, at an elevation of 560 m above mean sea level.
  A footpath leads to Rautasjaure from Rensjön.
  In winter the lake can be reached by snowmobile.
  From there it flows eastward through roadless land.
  On the right, southern bank, Subasjohka, Seppojokha join the river and the river flows into the Guolášjávri lake, where it is joined by Snánnavieddji and Durkkejohka.
  It enters Rautas fjällurskogs naturreservat, meeting Leavášjohka and Geinnodakjohka on the right, and splits shortly before Rautas.
  It splits in a western and an eastern part, Alit Suorri / Västra Rautasälven and Lulit Suorri / Östra Rautasälven.
  Those branches are approximately 3km apart.
  In the middle between those two branches lies the village of Rautas.
  The European route E10 crosses both branches.
  After 6-10 km, the branches meet again and the river continues in a southeasterly direction.
  It passes by the village of Käyrävuopio shortly before the stream Tiansbäken flows into the river from the right/south.

  A footpath leads to Rautasjaure from Rensjön.

  From there it flows eastward through roadless land.
  On the right, southern bank, Subasjohka, Seppojokha join the river and the river flows into the Guolášjávri lake, where it is joined by Snánnavieddji (left/north) and Durkkejohka (right/south).
  It enters Rautas fjällurskogs naturreservat, meeting Leavášjohka and Geinnodakjohka on the right, and splits shortly before Rautas.
  It splits in a western and an eastern part, Alit Suorri / Västra Rautasälven (met by Njuohčamjohka) and Lulit Suorri / Östra Rautasälven.
  Those branches are approximately 3km apart.
  In the middle between those two branches lies the village of Rautas (Rávttas).
  The European route E10 crosses both branches.
  After 6-10 km, the branches meet again and the river continues in a southeasterly direction.
  It passes by the village of Käyrävuopio shortly before the stream Tiansbäken (Vuonajohka) flows into the river from the right/south.
  Then it continuous through uninhabited land, with Pahtajoki flowing into it on the right, before 
  passing by a place where a footpath leads toward the river from the south (see photo).
  The Käyräjohki and Askajoki join from the left.
  After this, the river turns north.
  A track leads from Kurravaara to near the place where the river turns north.
  It flows into flatter land where some islands such as Hansisaari are in the river.
  Finally, it flows into Vahkujávri, which is part of the Torne River, at an elevation of 327 m, after nearly 135 km.
