Why you should visit it
Half of the Salla had to be handed over to the Soviet Union in peace in the autumn of 1944. 9 villages were lost, and all those people in these villages needed a new home inside the Finland. The settlements were scattered along the roadsides. Most of the settlements are farmland. The living quarters are so-called front-town style buildings.
