From exploring the Finnish outdoors on foot and by mountain bike to discovering the local food scene in Lapland. 🥂🍴🇫🇮

Making our way South through Finland and enjoying the beautiful fall colors from our beautiful log house in Muotka and the amazing surrounding mountain biking trails! Tough and cold conditions, but our private sauna in our very charming chalet is exactly what is needed after a day in the outdoors of Finnish Lapland!

After this amazing and demanding adventure reaching the REAL North Cape (see previous post), we crossed into Finland to enjoy the beautiful ruska (peak fall foliage!). Trees are getting their true colours and the ground covered in wild berry bushes has turned into a beautiful red and orange carpet! Hiking “mount” Omatso the views were just amazing! It is cold though and it is very nice to get warm in our Aurora Cabin in Inari to observe the Northern lights.

And this is still the cliff of the North Cape visitor’s Centre far in the distance in this amazing sunset… from the ACTUAL northernmost point of the European continent! Namely Cape Nordkinn. We made it 🤗🥂🍾 What an expedition though!! A very demanding 53-kilometre hike including a night in this remote area in this ice-cold arctic climate, navigating amongst never-ending ankle-twisting fields of boulders! Maybe one of our most difficult and best adventures in Norway rewarded by the Northern Lights… So great we are writing a full article about it for the e-magazine Beyond Boundaries! Lots of photos to share with you guys!!

71° 11′ 08″ N!

71° 10′ 21″ N! Yes we made it to the North Cape, Europe’s most Northern point! 😃 Or… errrm… maybe not?! Hmm studying the map (swipe left) we learnt that what everyone refers to as the North Cape is just a fake! Great location for a visitor’s centre. Don’t be fooled! Next post we will show you what the real North Cape looks like… stay tuned! What about you, have you ever made it there that far North?
