The trifinium
Finland - Norway - Sweden
The
FINOSE trifinium is located at boundary marker 294 in Lake
Golddajávri, but the marker itself is accessible by a small wooden
bridge. In 1897 a cairn was raised on the Norwegian - Russian border at
Golddajávri. (Finland was then a part of Russia). The trifinium is making
the end of a valley beginning in the end of the Lyngen Fjord.
The best way to reach the trifinium is from Finnish side. In
summer a taxi boat is taking you from the small boat harbour at Siilastupa
near the village of Kilpisjävri across Lake Kilpisjävri to Koltaluokta
at Swedish side of the lake. From this point it is about 3 kilometres to
walk to the trifinium.
FINOSE is the northernmost
trifinium in the world!
