Three-Country Cairn (Treriksröset)
Kolmen valtakunnan rajapyykki / Treriksröset / Treriksrøysa
A yellow concrete boundary marker standing in a lake marks where Finland, Sweden and Norway meet. Take one step around it and you've visited all three countries.
The Three-Country Cairn marks the point where the borders of Finland, Sweden and Norway meet. A yellow concrete cone stands in the shallow waters of Goldajärvi, connected by a boardwalk, so visitors can walk around it and “visit all three countries in one minute.” The one-way hike from Kilpisjärvi is about 11 kilometers and passes through the Malla Strict Nature Reserve. In summer, roughly late June to mid-September, you can take the M/S Malla boat across the lake to Kolta Bay, then walk about 3 kilometers, making a half-day round trip. In winter and spring, snowmobile tours head there. The end point has a wooden cabin and toilets.
