Very interesting if you like history around the 1940-45 during the war. Walking around the site showed clearly the conditions soldiers lived in and defended the lands. The male receptionist was a little abrupt.

The museum itself was closed when we visited. As I am very interested in military history, this place was utterly interesting. One very much feel the spirit of gone by days in the stone block trenches. There are also command posts and signs to guide you throw the history. One can imagine how the fortification ones was manned and perhaps get an understanding of the hardships of young soldiers. I will try to visit again when the museum is open.

Now I've been there twice and each time I find something different and fascinating

We didn't visit the museum as it was closed during Midsummer. Was quite surreal to be walking along the path, exploring the fortification area and bunkers (where there are wooden bunk beds used by soldiers, under the corrugated metal shelter). Surprisingly a large area with many ups and downs, some narrow pathways. Lots of rocks. Built in 1944 and still standing.

Very impressive lesson of history up n the north west of Finland, especially for me as German it was very interesting to see how it looked like what happened here, what still is left ...
