About this destination

Kirkenes and the municipality of Sør-Varanger form a sliver between Russia and Finland, right on the Varanger fjord.
Once you leave the wind-swept coast, however, the scenery changes. Deep forest, birch closest to the coast, pine inland, grow unobstructed from here to the Bering Strait and beyond.
