Treriksrøysa Tripoint
Treriksrøysa
The tripoint marker where Norway, Finland and Russia meet, the hiking destination at the end of the Pasvik Valley.
The Treriksrøysa tripoint lies in the Muotkavaara area, where the borders of Norway, Finland and Russia meet. Stone cairns and tripoint markers stand among the lakes and hills of the taiga. The hike starts from a car park near the southern end of the Pasvik Valley, close to Øvre Pasvik National Park, and the round trip takes several hours. Mosquitoes in the forest are numerous, so bring repellent. Note that there are border regulations around the marker: do not cross the border line, and do not photograph or provoke the Russian side or touch Russian boundary markers. It is about 120 km by car from Kirkenes, so plan for a full day.
