Kirkenes

Welcome to Kirkenes, the last destination of Hurtigruta! During the 2nd World War, this is the place that suffered German bombing the worst and there are several worthy monuments to remember these terrible events. Today Kirkenes is an exciting place for the adventurous tourist. You can climb mountains, rappel, join in on a reindeer safari, sail a riverboat along the Russian border, fish for king crab, ride a dog sled or part take in challenging ocean rafting in the Barents Sea. If you are curious by nature, you can try wreck diving. Perhaps you will discover wrecks that no one has ever seen before! If you are more interested in a relaxing vacation, Kirkenes is perfect for cozy nights in a Sami tent with traditional food and drinks. Catch a Widerøe-flight to Kirkenes airport and you can take part in all of this!
