Olavinlinna, Savonlinna 🇫🇮

By far the most famous story of Olavinlinna is the tragic love story of the Finnish maiden.

The daughter of the castle’s Lord was in love with a Russian soldier and one night she opened the castle gate to let him in. But she was betrayed by her lover when he brought more soldiers with him. The Russian forces were fought off and the traitorous lover was killed in the attack. The maiden was sentenced to death for treason and buried alive in the wall of the courtyard.

Shortly afterwards a rowan tree grew on the burial spot and the white flowers which bloomed on the tree were said to be symbolic of the girl’s innocence.

Hiljainen Kansa, Käpylä 🇫🇮

The Silent People is an art installation produced by Reijo Kela. The first time for this installation was in 1988 in Suomussalmi. The installation provokes the travellers and motorists to stop and wonder about these ”people”. In this 1994 launched art installation the figures standing in the middle of the field causes curiosity and disorientation.

Knivskjellodden 🇳🇴

Knivskjellodden or Knivskjelodden is a peninsula located in Nordkapp Municipality in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway. It is the northernmost point on the island of Magerøya in Northern Norway. It is sometimes considered the northernmost point of the entire continent of Europe. The nearby Kinnarodden on the Nordkinn Peninsula is the northernmost point on the mainland. The northernmost point of the country Norway is in fact Rossøya, in Svalbard, as far north as 80°N.

Knivskjellodden can only be reached on foot, after a 9 km/5.6 mi long hike from a parking area near the European route E69 highway (71.122°N 25.71°E), 6 km (3.7 mi) south of North Cape.

Travel agencies that organize trips for unaware tourists often advertise the North Cape as the northern extremity of Europe, but this is not true as the Knivskjellodden is 1,450 metres (4,760 ft) further north.
