or just The Three Country Cairn, the spot where Finland, Sweden and Norway shake hands.

Well, the first picture is 'a' country cairn, the second picture is THE three country cairn. But I liked the sky in the first picture better, so... :)

These cairns are located in Malla Strict Nature Reserve, most easily accessible from Kilpisjärvi in Finland. As the title of the park suggest, it's a very special area with rare species of plants and therefore protected. Every Mans Right, the right to roam is not applicable here. However, according to regulations on the basis of cultural protection, the indigenous Sami people should have access to the land for the practice of reindeerhusbandry. Two worlds collide.

My Malla-story: I don't want to brag (I do, actually :P) but I think I saw a wolf here once. On my way back down, where the treeline starts, I sat down on the path, to drink my last bit of water. I heard some footsteps down below off the trail, which was weird, because you are not supposed to stray from the path. And the steps sounded too coordinated for reindeer. I waited it out quietly and then a big dog appeared. My heart jumped, but luckily the dog didnt hear that. To this day, I don't know if it really was a wolf, but if it looks like one, walks like one and quacks like a one.. maybe?..

Canoeing in Värmland. For people in Europe it's a must. Beavers, bears (never seen one only footprints from one), eagles and animals sniffing around in the night while you try to sleep in your tent (it turn out to be a badger). I love it and if someone wants to try; main town is Arvika and go for routes in Glaskogen nature reserve. We tried a hard trip without children from lake to lake with a lot of canoe transports - it was fantastic. We also tried one on Svartelven (picture) with our son - also very nice but not the WILD nature experience like the lake trip.
