This cave dug into the rock is located under one of the city's hills and sheltered the civilians who took refuge there during the German bombardments of the Second World War. The 25-minute tour focuses on the history of Kirkenes during this painful time, with the presentation of a film and photos. A must-see place that is part of the network of museums throughout Northern Norway. A good way to imagine the daily life of the population in these times of war, but also the reconstruction that followed.

Departure from the Tourist Information Centre. This excursion by river boat (a beautiful piece of wood) to the Russian border near Boris Gleb focuses on discovering (in German and English) the history and culture of the region. Other excursions are also offered throughout the region, as far as Finland, along the Russian border, for example by snowmobile. Beautiful adventures that allow you to discover the fascinating landscapes of the Far North in all seasons while having fun.

At the entrance to the town, this modern museum has a permanent exhibition on the history of World War II and the mining company A/S Sydvaranger. The staging is impressive and very clear. There are many documents. The part dedicated to Lappish history is fascinating to understand this different history, ignoring borders. The network of museums in Norwegian Lapland provides a better understanding of the northern communities.
