Monuments to visit Kilpisjärvi

Jarama Fortifications is a way to discover a part of the history of the region. After a ten-minute video, you can access these old trenches that date back to 1944. During the war in Lapland, Germany invaded this part of Finland. In the summer of 1944, they built fortifications to defend themselves from the Finns who were trying to regain ground. A few blockhouses remain from this period, which can be discovered behind the museum by walking through the trenches. Beware, it is easy to get lost!
