Ilomantsi Battlegrounds Trail
This 118-kilometre trail takes the visitor through authentic Winter War (1939 to 1940) and Continuation War (1941 to 1944) battlefields in Ilomantsi, in the modern day North Karelia region of eastern Finland. Dozens of memorials, museums, and restored battle stations tell the story of Finland's struggle for independence against the Soviet Union. The route leads you to the easternmost point of the continental EU.
