No real battles were ever fought here. Museum and café. In the Järämä recreational forest, with the last pine wood en route to Kilpisjärvi (the last lonely pine is at Luspi, 2.5 km farther).
Operation Birke was a German operation late in World War II in Finnish Lapland to protect access to nickel.
Markkinan kirkonpaikka
Former market and church site. Markkina village was the hub of the local trade and religion for at least 200 years. Even the Sami name of the village, Boaresmárkan, means 'old marketplace'. The church was located on the hill from the 1600s until it was dismantled in 1826, as the parish had been split between Sweden and the Russian Empire. The logs were rafted to Palojoensuu where a new church was built. (Now there is just a grave yard left in Palojoensuu.) The old church site in Markkina is included to the list of nationally significant built cultural environments.
