Kirkenes Travel Forum

When you drive down from Kirkenes to the point where Russia, Finland and Norway meet, perhaps 150 kilometers, how close do you get to this point. How far do you still have to walk, in km or hours? We plan a visit in September.

We would like in September to drive down from Kirkenes to the point where Norway, Finland and Russia meet. How close do we get? How many kilometers do you still have to walk? We know that we do not get into Russia.

Hi guys!!
I've looked everywhere, but I cannot find how to get from Rovaniemi to Kirkenes.. Is there any train connection or a bus? I'm just desperate!! :)

Thanks a lot in advance!

Struggling to find any budget accommodation options in November (budget is lets say pretty limited). Just emailed the campsite in hope of a lodge but seems there fully booked...anyone know if there are any options other than the main hotels? (seen the Kirkenes Hotel, and 2 Rica Hotels so far)

I'm looking into getting a bus from Kirkenes to Murmansk - can anyone recommend a company that does this? Just did a bit of google searching but couldn't find anything.
Also - is it better to sort out visas at home (London for me) or can I just do this when I reach Kirkenes or the Russian border?

We are travelling to a wedding in Ivalo next September. How many km is it ? And road conditions - how long should we expect the trip to take (one way) ?

Could you please advise how far it is/how long it takes by taxi, from Kirkenes airport to the ferry terminal. Thanks.

Hi,
I'd like to go for a 7-10 day trekking in Finnmark. I'm going to walk about 15km a day. I'd like to fish a bit and spend some nice evenings by the campfire. I'm looking for a slightly hilly landscape with a lot of water (but with some dry places to).
Is it possible to avoid mosquitoes in summer (when, where)? I heard that on a certain level over the sea the number of mosquitoes decreases. Is it true? Where?
Can you give me some tips on where can I look, to find more information on hiking in Finnmark.
Thanks for all help.
Best regards,
Kamil

Thanks
