Respects toward German Soldier's
German Soldier's Cemetery
Why locals love it
Built in 1963 the Mausoleum is a really big memorial for the German Soldier's who fought in Lapland's during the 2. WW (1942-1944). The place is really palace like building, which rests peacefully on the shore side of the Norvajärvi. Inside the mausoleum there's a statue "Mother and the Son" by Ursula Querner.

Why you should visit it
Lovely hike for the evening in Fall, the parking is located about 0,5 kilometers from the Mausoleum. Trail is marked and the real cemetery area is surrounded by the wall, you enter the area from the gate. The area is covered by the old pines and spruces, the surrounding nature is really ordinary to the Finland's forests.
Special tip
Free, about 16-18 kilometers from the city center. Accessible by car and bicycle. Close to army base but is not shut down from the people.
