Finland

28.08. - 14.09.2014

After last years tour to Iceland we looked for a convenient Nordic camper-van destination. Just an hour from St. Petersburg by plane we went to Helsinki, picked up a car and went all the way up to Lapland till the tip of the European Union.

One of our first stops was at Kolovesi National Park to visit the 5000 years old rock paintings.




The rock painting wall, a good 1hour hike from the parking through nice virgin forest.




The castle of Savonlinna




A sand sculpture somewhere in a small town.




Lakeland – a camping place and a boat.






North of Rovaniemi at the Santa Claus Village we crossed at 66.5° latitude over the arctic circle.






A walk into a bird sanctuary.




The first mushrooms!




The first harvest.




Barbecue on the camp fire – only the finish sausages were not our taste.




A Walk near Inari – Lapland landscapes.










Found mushrooms again.




That's as far as we got north, near Polmakin.




Via a small detour through Norway along the Varangerfjord with a look at the Barants Sea.




And back to Finland.
