Imperial Russian defence armor shields from WW1, used by Finns there

The gun shield, probably Skoda or WW1 Schneider gun, used as a bunker roof

Other Finnish or German defence stuff

And bunker with direct hit



TM 35 on the road

Finnish electicity line, still staying strong


Extremely rare Soviet 107 mm Mountain mortar shot



Another shield found by my son, he speaks by phone with mother, due the Norvegian phone network found on the hill

Next day is a trip to the Soviet coastal battery, the cemetry made around the battery in the war time, the Red Fleet men who are KIA, and inscription on the metal where they were killed. For example the blue colored shells is the 201 mm shells which is direct hit to the gun part. Other show something like- burned alive near the gun...
The inscription on the gun means: this gun in June 22th, 1941, at 22h.31m, has been shot first enemy ship in the history of Great Patriotic War ( Barbarossa operation)


Traveler: stop and respect the fallen on the 113 Coastal Battery of the Northern Fleet, respect to the fallen heroes, they will not be forgotten

The cemetry

Finnish houses, used after the war as a sauna

Monument to this alive battery, most of the guns with changed barrels after the 1944 year, the battery has been postwar, but now is abandoned










Soviet borderguard house- abandoned



Way back to the camp, it was a rainy day, and too cold, even a July 29th, the temperature was 4 C grad
