Alluitsup Paa

[citation needed]Alluitsup Paa (old spelling prior to the orthography reform in 1973: Agdluitsup pâ) is a village in the Kujalleq municipality in southern Greenland.

Qerrortuut, Inuit ruins of previous settlements from late 18th and early 19th centuries, can be found to the west of the village, on the same island.

[3] There are also ruins of a nunnery built near the hot springs after Greenland was first introduced to Christianity around 1000, and is the site where the Uunartoq Disc was discovered.

[5] The hotels offer tourists trips to the nearby sights, the Uunarteq warm springs, the abandoned Amitsoq copper and graphite mine,[6] the nearly abandoned village of Alluitsoq (Lichtenau), the nearby quaint settlements of Akuliaruseq and Qarsorsat, and the village of Ammassivik (Sletten).

Operated by Greenland Home Rule Government, the local Integrated Office in the district employs two people.

Fairly well-trodden hiking trails lead northwards from the town, but for any motorized transportation, terrain vehicles are needed.

Alluitsup Paa is connected to mainland Greenland via a small land bridge, making motorized transportation possible.
